| Let Me See That e-Book: Managing Cataloguing and Access through Collaboration |
Friday, November 6, 4:30pm to 5:15pm in the Calhoun Ballroom at the Francis Marion Hotel |
Electronic resources have become a vital part of research collections. However, the sheer number of titles involved has made providing digital access to
electronic books through traditional cataloguing extremely challenging. This presentation covers the
challenges that the University of Calgary has faced with electronic book cataloguing and its new‐found success in
managing this cataloguing by partnering with Serials Solutions, Yankee Book Peddler, and ebrary, who will be represented by Director of Partner Relations Anne Harris. The focus is on
the collaborative efforts made by all of these parties, and many individual publishers, to make electronic resources
available on a mass scale through the library catalogue and beyond. |
