SELECTING ELECTRONIC PRODUCTS: BEYOND THE BASICS
5 May 2005, London
E-resources are very costly - how are decisions made about what to subscribe to?
How many customers will want to access this resource? How are an organisation's
unique requirements expressed to the publishers or vendors?
These are some of the questions that may have to be answered by those responsible
for the purchase of electronic products. Other key issues are - how to ensure the
accuracy and quality of information resources; review the risks of not having
information; identify the most cost-effective sources and compliance with regulation
and legislation.
BENEFITS FROM ATTENDING
This workshop will provide an opportunity to work in groups to try and find solutions
to some of the issues relating to the procurement of electronic resources. It will also
facilitate the decision-making process and increase confidence.
BY THE END OF THE EVENT PARTICIPANTS WILL HAVE:
* developed selection policies for electronic resources
* selected products to meet business objectives
* evaluated comparable information resources
* reviewed financial management
* identified licensing requirements to suit organisational needs
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
Those who have been working in a role, which includes the purchase and selection of
electronic information resources for at least 12 to 18 months or who have attended
Selecting electronic products: a beginner's guide. The day will include practical and
group work.
