Course summary
This one-day seminar aims to present a practical introductory overview of all aspects of e-resources management, encompassing e-journals,
e-books and bibliographic and full-text databases.
The emphasis is on developing a sound basic understanding of the details of e-resources handling in order to promote efficient and informed working practices. A wide range of day-to-day
issues will be covered, with time devoted to recognising and resolving the problems that can arise at the boundaries between publishers, intermediaries and libraries, and addressing business models such as open access. In addition, the seminar will provide

Delegates will be able to air and exchange views in the discussion session after each presentation.
