From Surviving to Thriving: Reimagining collaborative e-resource workflows and metadata management for the next generation.
Conference Track
1. Managing e-Resources & Licensing
Keywords
E-resource management; Next-generation library systems
Learning Objectives
Following this session, participants will be able to share real-world next-generation system e-resource workflows with colleagues and staff, better prepare for changes to e-resource workflows resulting from migration to a next-generation system. understand how e-resource management collaboration can be improved by a next-generation library management system, effectively maintain a web-scale discovery service in conjunction with locally managed and knowledge base data.
Abstract
The University of Minnesota implemented Ex Libris’s Alma in 2013. Implementation revealed substantial tension between idealized e-resources workflows in a next-generation system and the messy reality of new work and migrated data that didn’t fit the ideal. This presentation will cover post-implementation short-term strategies, re-imagined collaborative workflows, and longer-term productivity/efficiency gains.
