This may be an impossible question to answer but I would really appreciate any help from the members of this list. At the University of Wales Bangor we are at last trying to persuade the powers that be that in order to make the most of our investment on electronic resources such as e-journals and bibliographic databases we need to appoint an Electronic Resources Librarian. I know from the job titles of people who post on this list and from job advertisements that many (most?) university libraries now have staff whose main responsibility is the management of electronic resources. Is this an accurate assumption? Does anyone have any evidence or anecdote that the appointment of an Electronic Resources Librarian has vastly improved the services offered to their users? Thanks for any information. -- Mieko Yamaguchi | Email: [log in to unmask] Tech Services Manager/System Coordinator | Phone: +44 (0)1248 382970 University of Wales Bangor | Fax: +44 (0)1248 382979
