Speaker Titles and Abstracts
Improving Clarity
Around Continuing Access
Adam Rusbridge, Project Manager, EDINA, University of Edinburgh
Librarians encounter a
variety of issues when managing access to e-journals, and these issues become
more complex as we consider the medium- to long-term. Journals transfer between
publishers, subscriptions change over time and entitlement information is lost,
and journal content can disappear if publishers fail. We will outline the range
of problems encountered by libraries and consider steps that can be taken to
improve assurance of access.
Adam Rusbridge is a project manager at EDINA, University of Edinburgh, who
specializes in issues around long-term preservation and continuing access to
electronic content. He has been involved in a range of projects and services,
including the Keepers Registry, UK LOCKSS Alliance and Jisc SafeNet project.
Imagining Better
eResource Access: Tomorrow’s Technology Today
Athena Hoeppner, Electronic Resources Librarian, University of
Central Florida
Imagine a world of perfect eResources access. Where licenses, invoices, usage data, knowledgebase, and vendor platforms agree on holdings and rights. Where eResources information flows unhindered between systems. Where user access is easy and ubiquitous. Such a world does not yet exist yet, but current standards, systems, and processes hint at what could be accomplished. This presentation will explore recent innovations and imagine changes to existing standards and processes to improve eResources management and access.
Athena Hoeppner is the Electronic Resources Librarian at the University of Central Florida. In her current role, she oversees eResources and leads implementation of and improvements to discovery and access technologies which connect users to content. Her projects explore usability, UX, discovery of, and access.
Challenge Accepted!
Tips to ensuring that patrons have access to paid content
Jennifer Leffler, Technical Services Manager, University of
Northern Colorado
Safeguarding patrons’ access to paid content is a hallmark of the work of electronic resources librarians. While this is a known role, the challenges are vast and varied. Access problems arise at many stages of the lifecycle of electronic resources, from purchase and renewal to vendor changes and cancellation. This talk will look at specific examples of access issues from a mid-sized, state institution and provide ideas on how to compact these difficulties.
Jen is a Technical Services Manager at the University of Northern Colorado. She has held several titles in her more than 10 years at that institution, but is thrilled that she has always been able to keep electronic resources and serials as a part of her work.
