The 6 Techniques for Electronic Resource Management (TERMS)
(https://library3.hud.ac.uk/blogs/terms/) give us a common language to
share, explore, and evolve our work of acquiring and managing academic
libraries’ e-resource collections. Using TERMS as a program framework,
ACRL NEC CDIG and ERMIG seek presentation topics of varying lengths
around one or more of the 6 TERMS. Possible presentation ideas
include:
1. Investigate Content for Purchase
· Developing best practices for assessing the
accessibility/usability of products
· Tools for comparing similar products – overlap analyses,
deciding between e-book platforms
· Innovative ways to involve students and faculty in trials
2. Acquiring New Content
· Successes using SERU or the CRL model license
· Getting OA or text-mining provisions into your license
· Negotiation tips
3. Implementation
· New tricks to deal with access issues
· Marketing ideas – spreading the word to different audiences
· Getting the most out of trainers
4. Ongoing Evaluation and Access
· Impact factor projects
· Tips for getting more out of COUNTER
· Talking about downtime – how much, where, to who?
5. Annual Review
· Helping out the “at-risk” publications
· Data visualization for usage stats and e-resource value
6. Cancellation & Replacement Review
· Breaking the news about a break-up to patrons, to vendors
· Local hosting solutions to ensure post-cancellation access
We want your ideas about managing collections and electronic resources
lifecycles. We are looking for a wide range of presentations in
length, format, and content. You could propose a formal presentation
of a project or workflow, or share preliminary sketches of a crazy
idea you want feedback on. Our goal is for this program to be a place
for idea-sharing, for stories from the trenches, and for the fostering
of future collaborations.
