About this book

Problems covered include cost containment for electronic serials, web design, discovery, customer service, efficiency, and adapting organizations to the needs of contemporary users. The title considers the historical development of the ERL role, how the position emerged in North America in the 1990s, how it is represented within the organizational structure of academic libraries, and how the ERL role maps to technology, information services, and professional identity trends.- Explores the changing role of the Electronic Resources Librarian (ERL)- Identifies long-term trends in Electronic Resource Management- Recommends best practices for the ERL role in modern libraries- Contextualizes the current ERL role in historical and current developments- Maps the ERL role to trends in technology, information services and the shifting professional identity of academic librarians
