Open educational resources & open access Sara Rutter
OER and open access aim to increase access to educational materials through openly licensed content that allows users to retain, reuse, revise, remix and redistribute. OER is defined as educational resources that are freely available online for anyone to use, and open access refers to copyrightable works licensed to allow free use. Studies show that many students do not purchase required textbooks due to high costs, and financial concerns negatively impact academic performance. Implementing OER in higher education can help give students access to materials from day one of class at low or no cost, and allow instructors to customize resources for their needs. The University of Hawaii promotes OER through its repository and recommends applying open licensing to works and adding materials.
This document provides information on various open access resources that are useful for library and information science (LIS) education. It describes open access repositories, journals, books, course materials, search engines, conference alerts, and posters related to LIS. It also includes information on reference management software, open source software, and directories of open access repositories.
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.
This document summarizes a presentation about electronic resources, interlibrary loan, and efforts in Denmark to provide access. It discusses how electronic resources are typically not shared between libraries due to licensing restrictions, unlike printed materials. While Denmark has many e-resources, ILL is still limited to printed copies sent by mail. Several Danish projects aim to create more access, such as a pilot sending printed articles electronically and an archive of 150,000 scanned articles available online. The presentation argues that ILL from e-resources seems contradictory but could be one way to explore more partial access options for library users.

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.

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.

Electronic Resources Management(ERM): Issues and ChallengesDr Trivedi
The document discusses the benefits and challenges of digital libraries and electronic resources. It notes that technological advances have transformed libraries' collections from print-based to e-books and e-journals. However, many libraries have not fully implemented electronic resource management systems to help organize and provide access to these digital collections. The document outlines several benefits of electronic resources like being eco-friendly, cost-effective, and allowing remote access, as well as challenges like high initial costs, requiring technical skills, and addressing copyright and security issues.
Libraries had to close and shift services online due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This led libraries to promote digital services and resources. Librarians provided services remotely through social media, online reference services, and promoting open access materials. As libraries reopen, there will be a continued emphasis on digital services and resources to support remote learning and research.
