    Transforming Into Effective Electronic Resource Management Organizations
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2008-03-19) Walters, Tyler O. ; Carrico, Jeff
    Libraries are experiencing rapid evolution into an environment of increasingly digital resources, where building a strong collaborative relationship between the acquisition of information resources and technological support for their access, use, and preservation is critical. The speakers will address the drivers behind this experience, how it is being expressed in academic libraries, and what are the common outcomes for the library organization.

    eJournal Archiving: Status and Trends
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007-02-22) Walters, Tyler O.
    As library collections become increasingly electronic, librarians strive to develop lifecycle management approaches to administer them. One major issue is the anxiety all librarians feel over the long-term sustainability of e-resources such as e-journals. Digital preservation, or archiving of e-journals, is a major concern within the lifecycle perspective. However, today we have several developing technologies, services, and strategies for archiving e-journals that bear further examination. This session will begin with a brief environmental scan of e-journal archiving developments, drawing upon the recent CLIR report, E-Journal Archiving Metes and Bounds: A Survey of the Landscape (October 2006). The bulk of the session will be dedicated to a "town hall" discussion among the session attendees (and coordinated by the presenter), sharing their experiences, concerns, and ideas about e-journal archiving. The presenter is an experienced library administrator responsible for e-journal archiving and is deeply involved in digital preservation issues. Attendees are encouraged to come prepared to discuss and debate the approaches the library profession is adopting for e-journal archiving. Learning outcomes: Learn about the tools, technologies and services that are available for archiving e-journals. How e-journal archiving fits within the context of e-resource management and overall lifecycle management of information resources Be exposed to librarians' real experiences with existing approaches and technologies for e-journal archiving.

    Who Moved My E-Journal: Electronic Resources and Organizational Change
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2006-03-24) Walters, Tyler O. ; McDonald, Robert H. ; Raschke, Gregory K.
    The enigma of electronic resources has brought a tidal wave of change to the academy. Research Libraries are at a crossroads that will see their networked infrastructure become the primary means of management, retrieval, and access to all content while print access will take on a decidedly ancillary role that does not fall into this digital rubric. With this new paradigm research libraries must face the changes in personnel management, hiring/recruiting, skills acquisition and development, workflow design, teamwork and team formation, organizational structure, and impacts on organizational culture and internal communications that will be necessary to truly support a primary digital information environment. This panel will consist of three senior library leadership representatives from Florida State University, the Georgia Institute of Technology, and North Carolina State University who will discuss current trends and applied approaches to these issues within their libraries and will offer time for discussion with attendees on this important foundation for electronic resources management.
