UKSG Introduction to Journals and E-Resources Today: London
The Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining, London, SW1
Thursday, 10 October 2013
Course summary
This one-day seminar aims to present a practical introductory overview of
all aspects of journals and e-resources management.
The emphasis is on developing a sound basic understanding of the details of
journals and e-resources handling in order to promote efficient and informed
working practices. A wide range of day-to-day issues will be covered, with
time devoted to recognising and resolving the problems that can arise at the
boundaries between publishers, intermediaries and libraries, and addressing
business models such as open access. In addition, the seminar will provide
an overview of the technical aspects of managing e-resources.
Delegates will be able to air and exchange views in the discussion session
after each presentation.
