[Resending this request as it appears to have disappeared into the ether the
first time I tried.]
Here at Northumbria the work on managing ejournals (assessing deals and
licences, ordering, checking initial and continuing availability, agreeing
authentication methods, presenting via OPAC and Web pages, troubleshooting,
user queries, etc) is divided between my Electronic Services team and our
Bibliographic Services section (with input from subject staff at the
selection stage), but we are looking to see whether we can improve workflows
and remove possible duplication of effort.
The sig files for messages on this list refer to jobs like:
Electronic Resources Co-ordinator
Electronic Information Development Officer
Information Resources Manager (Electronic Journals)
Electronic Resources Manager
as well as others for folk with subject responsibilities.
I'd be interested to hear from those in academic libraries as to their
ejournal responsibilities and how they fit into their library's
organisational structure.
I will endeavour to summarise the responses.
