Description

Electronic resource management is becoming a primary responsibility of library managers.

This book approaches electronic resource management as a system affecting all library work, linking it to concepts of collaborative management and the assessment cycle.

The author demonstrates how collection development, acquisitions, licensing, budgeting, and cataloging techniques; technological infrastructure; and user services for electronic resources fit into the new collaborative management that relies on learning more than control to respond to change.

The techniques presented for managing electronic resources improves the library's service value through relationships between library professionals and with library customers.

Engaging the librarian in a cycle of constant learning and assessment, the approach ultimately makes work lighter, relationships with colleagues and customers more productive, and library services more relevant to community needs.
