Through this course, participants will: identify evolving roles of 
collection development in the electronic environment; learn acquisitions 
and budgeting procedures for library materials in electronic form; 
identify issues related to copyright, intellectual property and licensing; 
gain the ability to providing access to electronic resources through 
metadata schemes; gain knowledge and skills of cataloging electronic 
resources using AACR2 and  MARC21.
