Electronic Resource Management 3: Assessment and Preservation

Electronic resources make up a large portion of today's library collections, and electronic resources management (ERM) is an important skillset for library staff members to have. These resources often make up a large portion of libraries' acquisitions budgets, and therefore, assessment of their usage is important. It can also be important to preserve access to these resources for long-term use. In this course, participants will learn strategies for assessment and preservation of electronic resources.
