Workflows revamped: How EKU Libraries are managing eResources

ER&L Conference Committee November 8th, 2009

As we have changed the majority of our new acquisitions from print to online format, Eastern Kentucky University Libraries have responded with new approaches to managing these collections. Some of these changes, such as implementing a new staffing structure, strengthening communication channels with other teams in the library, and streamlining of workflow processes have been moderately successful. Other changes, such as incorporating support staff into eResource workflow and implementing management tools that work effectively for eResources have been less successful. We are finding that the lack of an effective communication and management tool has hampered our best intentions. We will discuss our analyses of these successes and failures and where we think we need to go from here.
