Chapter 7, “Conclusion,” wraps up this issue of Library Technology Reports (vol. 58, no. 7), in which we have defined the technological components required to facilitate e-resource access and discussed how the limitations of these components directly correlate to the amount of electronic resource troubleshooting required to keep them running smoothly. We have attempted to include and define all points of access common to library access chains; however, any attempt at comprehensiveness will invariably omit relevant systems, tools, or metadata.
