- W36959632 abstract "Library patrons in today's environment expect access to electronic items as well as physical materials. In fact, publishers are abandoning the traditional print model in favor of electronic formats that can be substantially less expensive for them to deliver. Physical and electronic versions of scholarly resources serve different purposes: the former may be preferred for embedded graphic objects, whereas electronic versions are easier to access, often in varying combinations of portable document format (PDF), hypertext markup language (HTML), MS Word, extensible markup language (XML), and text.Copublished simultaneously as The Acquisitions Librarian, number 33/34, 2005, Managing Digital Resources in Libraries offers practical advice from experts who collect and manage the often digital-born resources becoming an increasingly important feature of twenty-first century librarianship. In this edited volume, working librarians share their expertise, addressing questions of licensing, funding, and access. The contributors also examine innovative projects and systems, such as the integration of resources that are personal digital assistant (PDA)–accessible into a library's electronic collection and the development of all-digital libraries.The chapters of the book are divided into four major sections, the first of which is licensing. This topic includes discussion of the impact of licenses on library collections and licensing issues in an integrated collection. The authors address the reality that restrictions imposed by licensing agreements result in a bifurcation of library resources for those resources that are owned and/or leased. The authors claim that, given the restrictive climate, libraries must support the first sale and fair use doctrines to thrive in the digital environment.The second topic of opinions, research, and analysis concerns open archives and the role of academic libraries and the electronic librarian in acquiring online journals and solutions to providing access. The authors discuss the open access movement and conclude that an electronic prints archive would complement traditional means of scholarly communication and publishing. Several timely questions are posed, including provision of article-level access to journals, effect on collection management of purchasing from journal aggregators, and MARC as an appropriate, let alone relevant, format for cataloging.The third topic is systems and software, which addresses choices in cataloging electronic journals, the use of the electronic library information navigator ELIN@, an “electronic journal finder,” integration of print and electronic resources, and electronic journals in aggregated collections. The authors describe various formats used to provide access to and fully integrate collections of journals in all formats. A summary of the advantages and disadvantages of each option is discussed. Also reviewed is a solution to the problem of providing access to e-journals using e-journal management software. Various e-journal management systems in different libraries are described. The section concludes with a discussion of a twofold solution to providing access to the content of full-text aggregators and collections: access through the online public access catalog (OPAC) and a database available from the library's Website.The final topic of special projects and histories covers integrating resources for PDA users, issues in developing an all-digital public health library in Michigan, and two case studies of electronic collection management. The authors describe the steps necessary to successfully integrate PDA-accessible resources into a library collection that necessitate novel solutions to the issues of licensing, cataloging, processing, and storing of such materials. Also discussed are the unavoidable problems of collecting and jointly managing print and e-resources with decreasing budgets.Addressing the challenges of and barriers to the preservation and dissemination of electronic information, Managing Digital Resources in Libraries provides a compendium of working knowledge addressing the aforementioned central issues. Each chapter concludes with references, including relevant Websites. Moreover, the book is thoroughly indexed and many chapters conclude with references and useful appendixes.This anthology outlines what librarians are thinking, doing, and planning in the new world of digital resources, in a time of shrinking budgets and increasingly complex access and purchasing arrangements. The contributions range from the theoretical to the eminently practical. Major emphasis is on the management of e-journals, although a chapter on the use of PDA technology gives the collection greater breadth in terms of formats addressed.An interesting and important compilation of reflections on today's issues in managing digital resources, Managing Digital Resources in Libraries also has a global reach, addressing projects outside the United States. The range of solutions offered for accessing and managing digital resources illustrates that no one method will achieve management of digital materials in all libraries because, as many authors maintain, one size cannot fit all.Finally, the chapters address copyright issues, licensing concepts, and issues surrounding bibliographic control. The case studies inclusively cover situations found in a variety of libraries, such as academic, health sciences, and public libraries. These vary from the ways librarians cope with digital resources, questions about how different formats and titles are selected, ways limited funds are allocated to lease or purchase electronic resources, to the effects consortial arrangements have on funding problems and the extent such relationships require libraries to purchase content that is out of scope. The book will serve as a very useful resource for all collection development librarians as well as for digital resources librarians." @default.
