The arrival and enormous growth rate of digital contents have fundamentally changed the way in which content is made available to library users. In the recent years, libraries are acquiring more and more electronic resources (e-resources) because of perceived benefits, such as easy access to information and its comprehensiveness. Due to the influx of e-resources in libraries, the collection, acquisition, and maintenance of these resources have become complicated issues to deal with. This has forced libraries to devise strategies to manage and deliver e-resources conveniently. Therefore, “Management of E-resources” or “Electronic Resource Management” (ERM) has become a challenge for library professionals that needs to be addressed through research and practice. To meet these challenges, library professionals and content providers have decided to develop ‘Electronic Resource Management System’ (ERMS) for management of e-resources in a more systematic way.
Virtual reference services allow users to communicate electronically with librarians in real-time without being physically present. They can be asynchronous using email or web forms, or synchronous using chat, video conferencing, or instant messaging. Benefits include removing physical and time barriers. Key aspects include the user, interface, electronic resources, and information professional. Services may be provided by individual libraries, collaboratively, or commercially. Evaluation considers outcomes, processes, economics, and user satisfaction to assess quality. Virtual reference services have grown with internet availability and will likely continue expanding users' online access to information.

Realigning library services with e resources (ss)Dhanashree Date
The presentation is an introduction to various challenges that librarians face in managing e-resourcses. It provides helpful pointers to guie librarians on decisions with respect to licensing,
The document discusses how libraries can better integrate their resources into users' workflows in a web-scale discovery environment. It argues that libraries need to syndicate and make their metadata, links, and services available outside of their own systems in places users are already searching and working. This means shortening the distance between users and library resources by mobilizing data at different levels from institutional to network. The goal is to create scale and impact by getting library information into the workflows and environments users are already engaged with.
As the volume and complexity of data from myriad Earth Observing platforms, both remote sensing and in-situ increases so does the demand for access to both data and information products from these data. The audience no longer is restricted to an investigator team with specialist science credentials. Non-specialist users from scientists from other disciplines, science-literate public, to teachers, to the general public and decision makers want access. What prevents them from this access to resources? It is the very complexity and specialist developed data formats, data set organizations and specialist terminology. What can be done in response? We must shift the burden from the user to the data provider. To achieve this our developed data infrastructures are likely to need greater degrees of internal code and data structure complexity to achieve (relatively) simpler end-user complexity. Evidence from numerous technical and consumer markets supports this scenario. We will cover the elements of modern data environments, what the new use cases are and how we can respond to them.
Powered by change or spinning our wheels: The chaotic world of electronic res...Jennifer Richard
Over the last twenty years, library collections have gone from primarily print to overwhelmingly electronic. In our efforts to keep pace with these changes, we have attempted to fit square pegs into round holes – the round holes being our traditional integrated library systems (ILS) and our traditional staffing structures within libraries. It is now apparent that many of those traditional library tasks of ordering and receiving print materials, labelling, shelving, tracking and claiming are fading into history. Now librarians and library staff are consumed by many new challenges including: ejournal packages and inaccurate title lists, changing standards (Counter 3 or Counter 4, KBART), individual subscriptions each with their own license, interpretation of licenses, new copyright laws, management of usernames and passwords for multiple databases and subscriptions, perpetual rights, discovery layers, indexing, resolvers, proxy services, unwieldy statistics and the lack of time to collect and analyse them, plus ebooks. Based on data collected, as part of the CAUL Electronic Resources Management Survey in 2014, funded by the CAUL Innovation and Research Grant, this session will review the current state of ERMS in academic libraries in Atlantic Canada and discuss possible solutions for better management of these electronic resources.

Alignment of Lib Technical Services to Changing Needs of UsersNew York University
How can LTS (Library Technical Services) meet the changing needs of library users and public services staff in the context of 1) economic challenges and opportunities for academic libraries, 2) increasing digital nature of library collections as IasP (Information as Product), and 3) rising expectations of end users using Web as Infrastructure? This presentation introduced the concept of digital library infrastructure, control objectives for information systems, COBIT, TOGAF, process capability maturity measures, enterprise capability maturity model, etc. as the enabler for communication among the concerned parties.
The Stanford Workshop focused on creating plans to expedite a shift in how knowledge and information resources are managed and discovered through linked data. The goal was to identify capabilities and design new tools, processes, and systems that move beyond current metadata practices to link related resources and provide improved navigation and discovery through open feedback. A number of organizations from around the world participated in the workshop to discuss these issues.
The document discusses establishing a National Digital Repository System (NDRS) in India using a harvesting model. It analyzes different technical models (centralized, distributed, harvesting), and recommends adopting the harvesting model. The harvesting model would involve individual institutional repositories exposing their metadata using OAI-PMH for a central searchable server to harvest and provide enhanced discovery services. Benefits of the NDRS for various stakeholders are discussed. Current scenarios of institutional repositories in India and potential organizations to contribute to the proposed NDRS are also outlined.
The document describes the DALICC Vocabulary, which was developed as part of the DALICC project to represent legal expressions from licenses in a machine-readable way. The vocabulary extends the ODRL and CCRel ontologies with additional properties needed to capture the full semantic spectrum of copyright statements. Examples are provided showing how the BSD 3.0, CC-BY, and Apache licenses can be represented using the DALICC vocabulary. The goal is to significantly reduce the costs of license clearance for derivative works by developing a framework that can understand and process license information.
The document discusses the Internet of Things (IoT) and some of the key challenges. It notes that IoT data is multi-modal, distributed, heterogeneous, noisy and incomplete. It raises issues around data management, actuation and feedback, service descriptions, real-time analysis, and privacy and security. The document outlines research challenges around transforming raw data to actionable information, machine learning for large datasets, making data accessible and discoverable, and energy efficient data collection and communication. It emphasizes that IoT data integration requires solutions across physical, cyber and social domains.
Research in Intelligent Systems and Data Science at the Knowledge Media Insti...Enrico Motta
The document discusses research directions in intelligent systems and data science. It describes work on making sense of scholarly data through techniques like data mining, semantic technologies, and machine learning. It also discusses mapping and classifying computer science research areas using an automatically generated ontology with over 14,000 topics. Other topics discussed include predicting emerging research areas, applications in smart cities like the MK:Smart project, and potential roles for robots in smart cities like an autonomous health and safety inspector.
