Managing the transition from print to electronic journals and resources

by Maria Collins, Patrick Carr

Written by leading authorities on print-to-e-resource transition, the essays in this collection - from library institutions of all sizes and levels of funding collection - will aid librarians in navigating the problems of changing formats, staffing issues, workflow approaches, and new and interrelated tools used to manage and provide access. This book will help librarians and information professionals to design, implement, and manage solutions to effectively provide online access to e-journals and e-resources. Special topics discussed include reconfiguring acquisition models, electronic resource management (ERM) systems, skill sets necessary for e-resource management, efficiency enhancement, and current trends and initiatives in licensing.
