Informal Discussion at LITA Forum
Time: Saturday 10/6, 8-9am
Location: Silverton Room Molly Brown Room
ER&L and LITA ERM Interest Group are hosting an informal discussion about the state of e-resource management at this year’s LITA Forum.
Grab some breakfast and come in for a discussion.
Join us as we continue our discussions (started at ER&L, ACRL and NASIG) on the future of e-resources management. We’ve been exploring ideas of how to create a community, a collaborative work space, an understanding, and a vocabulary about how we need to manage and make accessible our electronic content.
These conversations spurred this blog and ideas for other collaborative spaces, like the projects wiki.
I will touch on some of the highlights of the discussions held so far and possible future projects.
This is very informal, allowing for time to talk about what’s happening in your libraries and your ideas for ways to improve.

A wiki has been created for commenting on the preservation issues that face electronic resources. I would like to ask for volunteers who are interested and willing to devote some of their time to an ad hoc group that has formed to examine these issues further.
We will be taking a look at archiving/preservation models for our paid resources (like LOCKSS, CLOCKSS and Portico) and assess and organize them. Then we will post what we find on the ER&L Projects wiki.
If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Nancy Beals at nbeals@wayne.edu.

I set up a wiki that lives at electroniclibrarian.org/projects in case we have future collaborative projects to work on. At this point, you do not need to log in to make changes.
Here’s a few tips about the Publisher Perpetual Access Information sheet:
Scroll to the bottom to find the edit button. Once you do, each cell becomes editable like an Excel spreadsheet.
If you want to have a copy for yourself, hit export at the bottom and choose csv (the Excel option is still in development and is not fully working).

In reference to the interest in having a centralized location to access and edit information related to perpetual access discussed today and yesterday on the ERIL-L list, we will set up a wiki this evening. Bonnie or I will post the URL when it is ready. In the meantime, for those who want access to the spreadsheet (compiled by Laura Edwards of Eastern Kentucky University Libraries) in its current state (as of 9/7/2007), here it is: eku-publisher-access-notes-2007.xls
