https://doi.org/10.5860/ltr.49n2Abstract
Librarians and information specialists have been finding ways to manage electronic resources for over a decade now. However, much of this work has been an ad hoc and learn-as-you-go process. Chapter 1 of Library Technology Reports (vol. 49, no. 2) “Techniques for Electronic Resource Management” shows that the literature on electronic resource management is segmented into many different areas of traditional librarian roles within the library. In addition, the literature shows how management of these resources has driven the development of various management tools in the market, as well as serving as the greatest need in the development of next-generation library systems. Techniques in Electronic Resource Management (TERMS) is an attempt to create an ongoing and continually developing set of management best practices for electronic resource management in libraries.
