Techniques for Electronic Resource Management (TERMS)

In just four years, many aspects of electronic resources management have advanced and evolved and new online content models have emerged, while principles have not. Over the past few years, electronic resources librarians have learned and developed numerous new ways of managing the acquisition, maintenance, and cancellation of electronic resources. In addition, the needs of digital preservation have also risen as a key concern within the profession. We aim to highlight a number of these changes in this update to the original report.

For TERMS 2.0 we would like to announce a third contributor who will join Associate Professor Jill Emery (Collection Development & Management Librarian, Portland State University) and Graham Stone (Jisc Collections Senior Research Manager, Jisc, UK). We are very pleased to welcome Peter McCracken (Electronic Resources Librarian at Cornell University). As a Co-Founder of Serials Solutions, Peter brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the project.
