She has been trying to tame various e-serials beasts since the late 1980?s when they first began to seek ISSN. She co-chairs an internal LC group coordinating the development of projects related to the recommendations of LC?s Working Group on the Future of Bibliographic Control and is a member of the U.S. National Libraries RDA Test Steering Committee. Reynolds was the 1999 recipient of the Bowker/Ulrichs Serials Librarian Award and 2004 winner of NASIG?s Marcia Tuttle International Grant. Reynolds has an A.M.L.S. (Beta Phi Mu) from the University of Michigan. *Taming the E-Serials Beast: Challenges and Solutions * Serials have been crucial in the chain of scholarly communication since at least 1665 when the first scholarly journals were published. And, for all of that time they have been presenting challenges as well: their title changes, numbering peculiarities, mergers, splits, supplements, translations, serials within series within serials, and other beastly behaviors have caused serialists to take refuge in organizations like CONSER and NASIG where they at least can share the misery--and the mystique! These challenges pale in comparison to the emergence in the 1980?s of online serials really scary beasts the likes of which had never been seen before. This presentation will briefly review the development of e-serials and how some of the early challenges were met. The main focus will be on several of the most pressing challenges that e-serials present in the area of bibliographic control, together with existing or emerging solutions. Many of the solutions are based on librarians interacting with others in the serials supply chain--especially publishers and aggregators--to help tame this new beast. *Topics to be covered: *Past challenges: a brief review of the development of e-serials and how early challenges were met. Current challenges: including the presentation of bibliographic information on e-serials: development of a possible NISO best practice; the problems caused by earlier titles being listed in aggregations under the current title: development of a possible NISO best practice; ?multiple versions? (issues such as how many records? single vs. multiple records; Linking ISSN; xISSN; will FRBR help?). Also: KBART and OpenURL; and transfer of serials and aggregations from one publisher to another (Project Transfer). Future challenges: the presentation will conclude with some personal reflections on the future of serials and their bibliographic control. */_Susan Merrill Banoun _/* Susan is the Cataloging Unit Head for the Serials and Electronic Resources Department at the University of Cincinnati (since 2005). She is responsible for cataloging serials in all formats, cataloging and managing electronic resources including record loads. Previously she worked as a cataloger at the Health Sciences Library at UC, and at the Campbell County (Kentucky) Public Library, doing cataloging, selection, acquisitions, and even some reference desk duties. Susan graduated from The Ohio State University with a BS in Education, and she has a MSLS from the University of Kentucky. *Catch a Tiger by its Tail?: The Challenges of Cataloging Electronic Resources *What to catalog, when to catalog, and how to catalog electronic resources? The traditional methods of acquiring and cataloging print materials, and the tools we use, the what, when, how? for description and access have always been fairly straight forward. Electronic resources are a whole different animal and do not neatly fit in with the traditional processes, tools, systems and methods for cataloging. From using full MARC 21 records in the library catalog, to using vendor MARC records, alone or with coverage loads and an ERM system, description and access is changing drastically. Some of the challenges and opportunities we are managing at the University of Cincinnati will be shared with a focus on trying to make good choices that will best benefit users in finding information. */_Barbara S. Dunham _/* Barbara Dunham is the Serials & Electronic Resources Librarian at The Ohio State University. She is responsible for the acquisition of print and electronic continuations as well as the management, licensing, and access of electronic resources. Prior to becoming the Serials & Electronic Resources Librarian, she held positions as Catalog Coordinator for Western Languages and Serials Cataloger at Ohio State. She is an active member of the American Society for Information Science & Technology (ASIS&T) and is currently Past-Chair of the Central Ohio Chapter of ASIS&T. Barbara holds an M.L.I.S. from Kent State University and an M.A.T. from Indiana University in Biology. *E-Serials Are Like Herding Cats *Since the advent of the electronic serials, the management and access of them soon became a common topic. While processes have evolved to help with these issues, the management and access of them still remain as challenges. The Ohio State University Libraries face these issues daily just as other institutions do. This presentation discusses some of the challenges faced by the Libraries and ways of handling them. */_Deberah England _/* Deberah England is the Electronic Resources Librarian at Wright State University. In this position she is responsible for acquiring, licensing, troubleshooting, and managing the Libraries' e-resources. With over fifteen years experience working with serials and e-resources, Deberah has published, lectured at university classes, and presented on the topics of serials and e-resources at national and regional conferences and workshops. *Welcome to the jungle: e-beasts and the quest to cage them *PAMS, knowledge bases and third-party hosts are just a few of the e-beasts in the e-resources supply chain jungle. Meet the rest of the beasts and learn about some ?big-game? initiatives to manage them. */ _Yuezeng Shen _/* Yuezeng Shen is Head of Cataloging, Cleveland State University. She previously worked as Catalog Librarian/Authority Control at Colonial Williamsburg Foundation Library and as Librarian at NASA Lewis Research Center Library. She received her MLS from SUNY-Albany. *Electronic Serials: Collaborative Management Across Departments *Cleveland State University Library does not have a dedicated position for electronic resources management. Rather, librarians, staff and student assistants from Acquisition, Cataloging, and Automation engage in the collaborative development of e-serials management, using a traditional ILS with separate access to electronic journal articles, archival collections, image collections, etc. E-resources management impacts the work in different units in the library. Our responsibilities in library services in general are changing because of technological advancements. Our usage statistics indicate that our current model is effective even with its limitations, such as inconvenience with multi searching engines for library patrons, manual usage statistics, etc. This talk will discuss how we set up licenses for electronic materials and how we provide and maintain the access to these materials. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rocki Strader Assistant Professor & Catalog Librarian The Ohio State University Libraries Phone: 614-688-8091 610 Ackerman Rd., Rm. 5769 Fax: 614-292-2015 Columbus, OH 43202 Email: strader.2@osu.edu ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Deberah England Electronic Resources Librarian Wright State University Libraries 3640 Col.
