Continuing Education for E-Resources
Grogg, Jill E.
Journal of Electronic Resources Librarianship, v20 n3 p143-146 2008
Library schools may be teaching some of the theoretical framework necessary to perform the duties of electronic resource librarianship. However, a gap remains "between practical needs, as expressed in position descriptions, and the theoretical way in which library school courses address those needs." To fill this gap, professional associations have stepped up to the plate and have created a number of continuing education opportunities for those librarians with e-resource management duties. This article primarily focuses on classes, workshops, and preconferences sponsored by the Association for Library Collections and Technical Services (ALCTS, http://www.ala.org/ala/alcts/alcts.cfm). (Contains 2 notes.)
