Title: Making E-Resources Management More Manageable: RECORDS  

 

Central to the workflows and management of e-resources are bibliographic
records. While there is now a general, well-established workflow for
e-journals, which are for a large part represented by standard CONSER
records in most systems such as SerialsSolutions & SFX, the same is not true
for e-monographs and integrating resources (databases). Proposals have been
made to guide the creation of records for e-monographs by publishers and
vendors. And some proposals are in the making for a provider neutral
IR-record. Where are we? What are publishers and vendors doing in this area?
After all, source and quality of records impact our decisions, workflows,
and management of e-resources. 

Speakers:

 

Nicole Pelsinsky, Serials Solutions  

Peter Fletcher, UCLA 
Timothy Savage, OCLC

 

A question and answer session will follow the presentations.
