Description

  • Jessica Morales, Collection Management Librarian, The University of Toledo
  • Tina Beis, Technical Services & Electronic Resources Librarian, Union Institute and University

Managing and coordinating the multifaceted steps involved in the electronic resource lifecycle in a transparent and effective method can be a challenging aspect of librarianship. This presentation will cover the workflow processes and collaborative efforts involved in: investigation of new resources, acquisitions & licensing, access, support, evaluation and renewal decisions from a unique perspective of three institutions of varying sizes and types. The presenters will discuss their shared work history in coordinating the electronic resources workflow at Capital University, a small private four-year college, as well as their current respective roles at Union Institute and University, a small private nonprofit university specializing in distance learning and The University of Toledo, a large public university with a health science campus. The presentation will conclude with best practices and will highlight some challenging issues we have encountered such as, working with limited staff and administration, large-scale ILS and discovery changes, and budgetary concerns.
