The document outlines best practices for managing electronic resources in public libraries. It discusses organizing responsibilities through governance models and collaboration with partners. Key tasks covered include identifying needs, locating suitable products, conducting trials, setting up new resources, and promoting them. Maintaining resources requires collection usage statistics, vendor negotiations, training staff and patrons, and troubleshooting issues. The goal is to effectively select, organize, provide access to, and promote electronic materials that meet community needs.

Webinar - The Changing Landscape of Library Privacy - 2016-06-15TechSoup
Visit http://www.techsoup.org for donated technology for nonprofits and libraries!
Do you have concerns about patron privacy at your library? Some argue that libraries should collect, retain, and use patron data to provide better personalized services to patrons. This is a serious challenge to the profession's ethical commitment to protecting patron privacy, especially since many platforms providing these services are operated by vendors who may not share librarians' professional values. We explore these issues and discuss possible frameworks that allow libraries to provide personalized services while maintaining their commitment to protecting patron privacy.
Watch this free webinar where we will hear from library privacy experts. Deborah Caldwell-Stone (ALA Office of Intellectual Freedom) will share the legal and ethical foundations for patron privacy, as well as resources that can be used to help libraries preserve privacy when adopting new technology. Michael Robinson (Intellectual Freedom Committee, Alaska Library Association) will share specific examples of how new technologies and platforms can pose a threat to patron privacy, and what can be done to minimize those threats in the library setting.
Acquisition & management of digital collections at the Library of CongressNASIG
Libraries have been involved heavily in providing digital content to their patrons for many years now, largely through providing access to content hosted by publishers and aggregators. Increasingly however, libraries have been acquiring digital content itself and adding the files to their collections. The Library of Congress, as the national library and the home of the US Copyright Office, is heavily involved in this sort of digital acquisition and management. For example, over the past three years, the Library of Congress has been acquiring e-serials under the terms of the Copyright Law and adding them to its collection. Given the increasing prominence of this sort of activity in the work of libraries, as evidenced by the increased presence of NASIG presentations on this sort of topic over the past few years, it might be useful to share some of the experiences that LOC has had and lessons it has learned in this regard with its colleagues in the library community.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Quick Technical Terms Vocabulary Lesson
Referring URL: Helps new product’s webpage to recognize
that the user is coming from your website.
Inside the library, user brought directly to the resource’s start page.
Remote access, user brought directly to login page
Library’s login page
Vendor’s login page
Example: http://misc.brooklynpubliclibrary.org/remote/?res=abi. This
tells the database that this user is coming from the Brooklyn Public
Library.
IP Address: Stands for Internet Protocol Address. Unique
numerical identifier assigned to every machine (device) in a
computer network. It takes the form of four numbers
separated by dots. Example: 101.32.11.264. Give vendor IP
ranges.
IP Authentication: Grants access to recognized IP addresses
so that users at your institution will not have to provide access
credentials, such as username and passwords.
28. Setting Up New Products
Login Page or Authentication Page: Webpage on
which your patron enters library barcode and PIN
information.
Proxy Server: a product that helps authenticate
and connect your remote users to your
subscription services. It is part of a group of
products called middleware. Examples: OCLC’s
EZ Proxy and 360 Access Control.
Content Management System: allows multiple
users access to the administration of an
institution’s webpages. Users with proper
usernames and passwords can create, change,
and publish content on specific webpages.
