Whether a single team manages electronic resources or responsibility is spread across your library, this book will be your go-to ERM reference.
The authors outline an updated version of their framework, Techniques for Electronic Resource Management (TERMs), to help library workers become more familiar with the life cycle of electronic resource management. The updated version incorporates their framework for open access resource management, Open Access Workflows for Academic Librarians. They illustrate how open access content can be incorporated into the library electronic resources management workflow and address six elements of the framework: investigating new content for purchase and addition, acquiring new content, implementation and troubleshooting, ongoing evaluation and access and annual review, assessment, and preservation and sustainability, with discussion of specific categories for each part of the framework, as well as basic and complex electronic resources and open access workflows.
