Abstract

In the March/April 2006 issue ofLibrary Technology Reports, collection-management librarian Marilyn Geller tackles electronic-resource management, the staffing, service, and system aspects of managing the library institution's expanding electronic-resource collections.

“An obvious and direct effect of the increasing availability of electronic resources in library collections was, and still is, the need to control and manage them. As simple as this task may sound, we, as librarians and library professionals, are still trying—more than a decade after the appearance of these electronically based resources—to find ways to administer these resources with the same comprehensive efficiency as we accomplished with print resources, all with new sets of tools and skills specifically tailored to the resources themselves and the new services these resources create.”—Marilyn Geller, Introduction to Library Technology Reports 42:2, “ERM: Staffing, Services, and Systems”
