Abstract:
In this column, the author discusses how the management of e-books has introduced, at many libraries and in varying degrees, the challenges of maintaining effective technical services workflows. Four different e-book workflows are identified and explored, and the author takes a closer look at how particular variables for each are affected, such as ordering, cataloging procedures, and access models. She then discusses solutions at American University Library through the use of a number of tools: MARCEdit, training staff not previously as familiar on electronic resources management (ERM) techniques, and utilizing the open sources CORAL ERMS, all in addition to systems and tools already in use. These efforts by the author and the American University (AU) staff were done as part of a movement from reactively managing e-book workflows to proactively seeking solutions for the multiplicity of efforts that are needed to maintain good recordkeeping for them throughout their existence, from acquisition by library staff to access for patrons.

Abstract:
Fewer employees, shorter hours, diminished collection budgets, reduced programs and services--all at a time of record library usage. In this book, library expert Carol Smallwood demonstrates that despite the obvious downsides, the necessity of doing business differently can be positive, leading to partnering, sharing, and innovating. This collection speaks to universal concerns, presenting creative and resourceful solutions from dozens of librarians representing a wide variety of institutions. The "Frugal Librarian" helps library professionals: (1) Find supplementary funding sources, including grants; (2) Save money by sharing resources, using tiered staffing for technical services, and implementing green IT; (3) Tap into grassroots movements to save neighborhood libraries; and (4) Preserve and enhance important library functions like programming, outreach, and staff development, despite a tight budget.
