3) The Changing Landscape of Electronic Resources Work Flows: Pictures from TWO USMAI Libraries
Description of presentation: Organization of electronic resources workflow is critical in the increasingly complex world of library management. The way in which this management process is structured differs according to the type of library and organizational structure within. A common goal, though, is strategically sustaining access and availability to electronic resources over time and the effective management of the library staff that maintains them. We will discuss how we approach electronic resources management (ERM) from different vantage points. Lenore (England, UMUC and Kelly Shipp, UMBC)

5) WorldCat Knowledge Base Implementation Issues
Description of presentation: The WorldCat Knowledge Base allows OCLC member libraries to load their e-journal and database holdings into one central location. Once loaded, the WorldCat Knowledge Base provides direct links to articles for libraries using ILLiad or WorldCat Resource Sharing, as well as enhanced features in WorldCat Local. OCLC is also exploring other uses for the Knowledge Base, including an A-to-Z journal index. OCLC provides two different methods for adding content to the Knowledge base: loading holdings into PubGet using admin logins or uploading holdings from a local link resolver (SFX). We will be discussing both methods of implementing the WorldCat Knowledge base and some of the issues encountered during implementation.
