The 6 Techniques for Electronic Resource Management (TERMS) (https://library3.hud.ac.uk/blogs/terms/) give us a common language to share, explore, and evolve our work of acquiring and managing academic libraries’ e-resource collections. Using TERMS as a program framework, ACRL NEC CDIG and ERMIG seek presentation topics of varying lengths around one or more of the 6 TERMS.  Possible presentation ideas include:

1. Investigate Content for Purchase

·         Developing best practices for assessing the accessibility/usability of products

·         Tools for comparing similar products – overlap analyses, deciding between e-book platforms

·         Innovative ways to involve students and faculty in trials

2. Acquiring New Content

·         Successes using SERU or the CRL model license

·         Getting OA or text-mining provisions into your license

·         Negotiation tips

3. Implementation

·         New tricks to deal with access issues

·         Marketing ideas – spreading the word to different audiences

·         Getting the most out of trainers

4. Ongoing Evaluation and Access

·         Impact factor projects

·         Tips for getting more out of COUNTER

·         Talking about downtime – how much, where, to who?

5. Annual Review

·         Helping out the “at-risk” publications

·         Data visualization for usage stats and e-resource value

6. Cancellation & Replacement Review

·         Breaking the news about a break-up to patrons, to vendors

·         Local hosting solutions to ensure post-cancellation access

We want your ideas about managing collections and electronic resources lifecycles.  We are looking for a wide range of presentations in length, format, and content.  You could propose a formal presentation of a project or workflow, or share preliminary sketches of a crazy idea you want feedback on.  Our goal is for this program to be a place for idea-sharing, for stories from the trenches, and for the fostering of future collaborations.
