> Presenter: Lenore England, Digital Resources Librarian, University of
> Maryland University College
>
> The UMUC library staff carefully review electronic resources each
> fiscal year. This process can be complex and inefficient since a wide
> variety of sources and tools need to be utilized. To more effectively
> manage the process, evaluation of resources was streamlined by setting
> up a site with LibGuides that could be utilized each fiscal year,
> which is called Electronic Resources Evaluation Central (EREC). EREC
> includes statistical and cost analysis of our resources, trials, fact
> sheets, library liaison information and templates for communication
> with faculty, and a comments blog. This presentation will discuss the
> effectiveness of setting up a central site and statistics on its use.

> Ithaka S+R analyzes responses from over 3,000 faculty members based at
> US four-year colleges or universities.  This presentation will report
> findings on (1) faculty attitudes about the idea of a local shift away

> (2) faculty attitudes towards scholarly communications trends in open
