UKSG E-Resources Technical Update

Wednesday 14 November 2012

Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining, London, SW1

 

Course summary

Many of us working directly with e-resources in libraries would like to feel
more confident in our understanding of the related technology.  Managing
e-resources and making them available to end-users is quite different from
dealing with print products, but many of us have moved from one to the
other, picking up expertise informally.  As a result we probably all have
gaps in our knowledge and understanding, and the need to gain a proper
balanced overview of the technical environment is crucial if we are to do
our jobs effectively.

 

The UKSG E-Resources Technical Update course will give you a good
understanding of the underlying technicalities involved in e-resource set-up
and delivery, including e-journals, online databases and e-books, and will
help you feel more confident in your day-to-day work.

 

Why you should attend

The course will be invaluable for anyone from a non-technical background
working with e-journals and other e-resources.  The atmosphere of the day
will be friendly and supportive and participants will be encouraged to share
any issues or problems they encounter in their work.

 

Course level and previous knowledge required

It is recommended that those completely new to dealing with journals should
first attend the UKSG Introduction to Journals and E-Resources Today, a
one-day seminar run in a variety of locations which covers all aspects of
the serials and e-resources industry and features an introductory technical
session.  If you are not completely new to journals no previous knowledge is
required.

 

Learning objectives

• Learn how to overcome common problems in implementing e-resources
• Have the tools to help you decide the best way of setting up access to
e-resources in your institution/organisation
• Be confident that you understand the technical landscape when dealing with
e-resource providers

 

Course content

Please refer to the day's
<http://www.uksg.org/sites/uksg.org/files/CourseSchedule2012.pdf> schedule
for times.  The course is continually updated, but core content will
include:

Classifying E-Resources
• Identifying the major players involved in e-resource provision
• The differences between gateways, platforms, publisher websites,
aggregators, search engine-based gateways and library gateways.

Reader Behaviour
• Where do users choose to begin their research?
• What are the differences in preferred starting points for researchers and
undergraduates?
• Advances in user navigation.

Managing User Navigation
• Linking through URL and OpenURL, the development and importance of Link
Servers
• The role of library web pages, OPACs, A-Z lists, federated search and web
scale discovery
• Accessing Open Access content.

Managing Authentication
• User authentication methodologies
• IP address ranges, proxies and firewalls
• Athens, federated access and Shibboleth
• OpenID developments.
