Description
This fully revised and updated second edition addresses several ever-present issues for both new and established e-resource librarians: The need for concrete tools to implement in their day-to-day tasks, the need to gain goal setting and project management skills to thrive and not just survive, and the need to overcome feelings of anxiety and isolation.
Simultaneously a step-by-step guide and comprehensive toolkit, this new edition walks readers through their first few days on the job, giving them the practical skills to immediately begin engaging with vendors, diagnosing access issues, tracking usage, and making well-informed retention decisions. Further, it sets readers up for long-term success by talking about project planning and goal setting in an environment of continuous change as well as offering advice on how to pass on their newly acquired e-resource knowledge to others.
Acting as a ready reference, Electronic Resources Librarianship will help steer librarians through the intricacies of the daily e-resource grind while giving them the tools and the confidence to handle even the most complex challenges.
