Morris, Kathleen; Larson, Betsy
Acquisitions Librarian, v18 n35-36 p97-105 2006
Libraries are responding to customer preferences for electronic research materials through the acquisition and management of these products. Electronic resources have significantly different characteristics than print resources when it comes to technical services management. This paper addresses aspects of a corporate research library's evaluation of its collection development and maintenance practices as related to electronic materials: selection, contract negotiations, orders, cataloging, access management, and staff development.
