Organizing the Evaluation of Electronic Resources
Looking for a better way to organize your evaluation of electronic resources? The electronic resources evaluation process is multifaceted and includes a seemingly endless range of resources and tools involving numerous library staff. If not well managed, the evaluation process can become increasingly fragmented and inefficient. This session will first review the electronic resources evaluation process in detail to understand and appreciate the myriad of details required to prepare for and maintain a valuable evaluation of electronic resources. Participants will then be shown a solution: A Springshare LibGuide to organize the evaluation process for electronic resources. As will be demonstrated, the site can be implemented quickly and will result in a tool that is flexible and simple to maintain.
