Managing E-Resources – Issues and Challenges


Thursday 27 October 2005 


British Library of Political and Economic Science, LSE, London WC2


 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

This one-day seminar will highlight the issues and challenges posed by the
increasingly diverse and extensive range of e-resources managed by libraries
and will also explore the skills needed to manage them effectively.  It will
also cover related topics such as budgetary control, purchasing decisions
and collection management, as well as considering the user perspective and
the role of publishers, traditional library vendors and aggregators.  Four
speakers will provide practical insights into the diverse and demanding
range of activities associated with the management of electronic collections
in the library environment.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

This seminar is aimed at librarians, information specialists, publishers,
subscription agents, and those working elsewhere in the world of information
supply who wish to know more about the strategic and practical issues
surrounding the acquisition and management of e-resources in a library
environment.  There will be an opportunity for informal group discussion in
which to share experiences of the topics raised in the presentations,
