ALCTS webinar: Organizing the Evaluation of Electronic Resources

Date: May 4, 2011

All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11am Pacific, noon 
Mountain, 1pm Central, 2pm Eastern.

Description: Looking for a better way to organize your evaluation of 
electronic resources? The electronic resources evaluation process is 
multi-faceted and includes a seemingly endless range of resources and 
tools involving numerous library staff. If not well managed, the 
evaluation process can become increasingly fragmented and inefficient. 
This Webinar will first review the electronic resources evaluation 
process in detail to understand and appreciate the myriad of details 
required to prepare for and maintain a valuable evaluation of electronic 
resources. Participants will then be shown a solution: A Springshare 
LibGuide to organize the evaluation process for electronic resources.
