Electronic Resources Workflows: Three ApproachesTina Beis
Presentation at the Ohio Valley Group of Technical Services Librarians 2017.
Managing and coordinating the multifaceted steps involved in the electronic resource lifecycle in a transparent and effective method can be a challenging aspect of librarianship. This presentation will cover the workflow processes and collaborative efforts involved in: investigation of new resources, acquisitions & licensing, access, support, evaluation and renewal decisions from a unique perspective of three institutions of varying sizes and types. The presenters will discuss their shared work history in coordinating the electronic resources workflow at Capital University, a small private four-year college, as well as their current respective roles at Union Institute and University, a small private nonprofit university specializing in distance learning and The University of Toledo, a large public university with a health science campus. The presentation will conclude with best practices and will highlight some challenging issues we have encountered such as, working with limited staff and administration, large-scale ILS and discovery changes, and budgetary concerns.
DOMAINS OF USER STUDIES (User Studies and User Education)Libcorpio
Domains of user studies include defining terms, understanding user needs and behaviors, search strategies, and barriers to information seeking. Research has studied who library users are, how they seek information, and what challenges they face. Questionnaires are commonly used to analyze user search patterns and barriers. Understanding user information behavior helps libraries better meet user needs through collections, services, and facilities.

Building and managing the scientific electronic collections for a new SciTech...Rindra Ramli
Electronic resources have evolved to become one of the most important resources within the library’s collection. The growths of these resources and the players involved within this area have provided library users with another alternative to obtain information. When implemented correctly with library assistance (library trainings, reference consultations and so forth), library users can access these electronic resources anywhere in the world with relative ease as long as there is an internet connection. Geographic barriers are no longer an issue and information can be obtained in a just-in-time manner. This paper describes how KAUST library built its electronic resources and how they grew into what it is today. Issues such as manpower, expertise level, budget, ERM tools, library-vendor relations and library-user communication will also be elaborated in the paper. Despite its drawbacks, KAUST library has managed to overcome most of them and strived to improve certain areas of concern. The paper will also describe the library’s ERM future directions and strategic planning. KAUST University was opened in September 2009 and it started out with its first cohort of 800 graduate students (25% female) taught by 100 faculties. The main areas of study focus on science and engineering divisions consisting mainly of: Mathematics and Computer Science, Physical Sciences and Life Sciences. From a demographic snapshot taken in 2010, 36% of the student body came from Saudi Arabia and the Middle East, 34% from Asia, 21% from Americas, 5% from Europe and 4% from Africa (alZahrani, R. , Branin, J. and Yi , 2012). The university library, when first started, had about 10 staff. The library is known to have a “state-of-the-art learning and information resource center supporting graduate education and advanced scientific research” (KAUST, 2010). The library subscribed to major science databases, electronic journals and books. It also offers a myriad of services from document delivery requests, textbook services, reference assistance and library trainings and consultations just to name a few.

Meeting the e-resources challenge through collaboration: an OCLC perspective ...NASIG
Libraries have been evolving their methods and approaches to managing the increasing range and number of electronic collections; however, much of the technology that has been developed to support this evolution involves the use of closed, disparate systems that each supports a single aspect of electronic resource management. At this session, OCLC staff and experts from member libraries will look at specific challenges of the e-resource management life cycle and share their perspectives about the opportunities to simplify and streamline processes at each step of the workflowselect, acquire, describe, discover, access and renew.
Particular focus will be given to the potential for libraries (and providers) to share data, tools and processes within OCLC's suite of WorldShare applications. These include: working with publishers to provide comprehensive, timely, good quality, reusable metadata to drive the discovery and usage of electronic resources; providing APIs that foster the development of functional enhancements that benefit everyone; working with a range of partners to embed metadata about, and drive discovery of, library collections in the sites and tools where users start their search.
OCLC is a worldwide cooperative of more than 16,000 libraries, archives and museums, working with members to provide a range of cloud-based, cooperative services that manage the complete library management life cycleOCLC WorldShare. OCLC's unique community-led approach to cataloging has resulted in widespread acknowledgment of the richness and accuracy of libraries' metadata. We are now applying this approach to the description, management and discovery of electronic resources.
By offering applications that address acquisitions, link resolution, authentication, license management, discovery, metadata synchronization and analyticson an open, shared platformOCLC is working with libraries to share the work of managing and delivering licensed resources with services that streamline and automate critical functions at every step of the library's workflow.

This document discusses four key lessons learned from the Digging Into Data Challenge, which funded computational research projects in the humanities and social sciences.
Lesson 1 is that these projects require open sharing of resources like hardware, software, data, and communication tools. Information professionals can facilitate partnerships and resource sharing agreements. Lesson 2 is that these projects rely on diverse expertise in domains, analytics, data management, and project management that information professionals can provide. Lesson 3 is that computational tools need to be adapted to evolving research questions through close and distant readings. Lesson 4 is that humanities and social science research now deals with "big data" and produces large datasets that information professionals can help curate and preserve long-

A total of 1733 papers were indexed on “digital library” in the database during the 10 year study period. The average number of papers published per year was 173.30. The highest number of papers, i.e. 15.41% were published in the year 2007. A total of 70 counties were involved in contributing publications and United States contributed highest to the tune of 38.60% and India was at eighth position with 2.25% publications. Most productive institution was University of California, which contributed a total of 2.83% publications. Proceeding papers amounted to 70.28% of the literature on digital library. Lecture Notes in Computer Science with 20.89% and English language with 98.50% publications were at the top. Highest foreign collaborations in 24.66% publications reported in papers from UK. The study may help policy makers to look into the trends and make effective policies related to digital libraries on the basis of inferences drawn from the analysis.

3.3 How Do I Find Information?
Your Road Map to Success: Section 3.3
Learning Outcome 3.3: Explain how to search for information in a digital university library and on the
Internet and determine what type of search is required based on an information need.
Why is this important?
Mastering this outcome will help strengthen your researching skills and ability to locate information both
on the Internet and in a digital university library. For example, Jamar’s first visit to the digital library was
frustrating. He couldn’t find anything related to the specific topic he wanted to research. After consulting
a librarian and learning more about searching, he realized he had been using the wrong databases. His
second visit was much more fruitful; he found all he needed in just a few minutes!
How does this relate to your success in this course?
Mastering this learning outcome will help you locate the information you need to do your assignments
quickly and efficiently so that you can balance the needs of school, work, family, and other commitments.
It will also give you the tools to find the answers you need—whether you are researching a school
assignment or seeking advice for yourself or your family.
All libraries have a system for organizing and accessing their collection that is specific to the resources they
carry and the communities they serve. Most public and academic libraries use electronic catalogs that allow users
to search their collections online. An online catalog is a digital record that contains all of the physical items
located within a library. It may also contain a record of the ebooks and journals a library carries, though typically
not its databases. These catalogs are searchable by title, author, subject, keyword, and more. Libraries have also
shared their catalogs, making them available online through WorldCat (https://www.worldcat.org/default.jsp
(https://www.worldcat.org/default.jsp) ). This worldwide catalog lists library items available based on your location
and contains bibliographic information on the holdings of over 10,000 libraries worldwide.
A purely digital library does not have a physical collection and therefore does not use a catalog. Instead, it uses
several databases. A database is a digital collection of stored information that has been organized, often by
several criteria, such as author, title, and subject. Databases include abstracts, full-text documents, images,
statistics, and more. Some databases contain general information on a variety of topics, and others contain
information only within a specific discipline or field. Think of a database like a virtual library shelf. It contains
many of the same resources you would find on a shelf in a physical library but in a digital form.

Designing and Sustaining Large-Scale Value-Centered Agile Ecosystems (powered...Alexey Krivitsky
Is Agile dead? It depends on what you mean by 'Agile'. If you mean that the organizations are not getting the promised benefits because they were focusing too much on the team-level agile "ways of working" instead of systemic global improvements -- then we are in agreement. It is a misunderstanding of Agility that led us down a dead-end. At Org Topologies, we see bright sparks -- the signs of the 'second wave of Agile' as we call it. The emphasis is shifting towards both in-team and inter-team collaboration. Away from false dichotomies. Both: team autonomy and shared broad product ownership are required to sustain true result-oriented organizational agility. Org Topologies is a package offering a visual language plus thinking tools required to communicate org development direction and can be used to help design and then sustain org change aiming at higher organizational archetypes.
