Hi everyone,

I thought you might be interested in some new chapters that we've
recently added to The E-Resources Management Handbook, the UKSG's open
access guide to all sorts of aspects of scholarly information
management.

There are two new guidance chapters, on impact factors (by Jo Cross of
Taylor & Francis) and copyright in the digital age (by Louise Cole of
Kingston University).

In addition to these, we've branched out from the usual format to
include interviews with some luminaries from the information sector -
Stephen Abram (SirsiDynix), Martin Marlow (Ingram Digital), Peter
McCracken (Serials Solutions), Jim Mouw (University of Chicago) and
Alison Mudditt (SAGE). Their views on what will replace Google and
what big challenges lie ahead are an enlightening summary of where we
are now, and we're hoping that these will be a kind of benchmark to
look back at in a few years' time and assess how our community has
developed in the interim.

The full announcement is online at:

And you can read the new chapters at:

All 21 chapters of The E-Resources Management Handbook are freely
accessible and cover topics including licensing, statistics,
archiving, resource discovery, marketing and ERM systems. For more

Best wishes,

Charlie.
on behalf of UKSG Marketing Committee
