Benefits of E-resources
 Provide immediate access
 Available 24/7 from the Internet
 More powerful search tools
 (i.e. full text indexing and link resolution)
 Content is available for working online
 E-resources are less expensive
 Students & faculty prefer using e-journals; e-books
lag behind

Signs of the Eclipse






Kindle, Sony E-book Reader
Improved devices—i.e I-phones
Open standards for mobile devices—i.e Android
Mobile Internet Access—i.e. Wi-Max
Google—scanning collections of e-books
Publishers stockpiling
e-book collections

i.e. MyiLibrary—100,000

Adding 1,000/wk

 Books and Journals will continue to move to the web
 It will continue to expand in depth and complexity
 Web sites connected to data will proliferate
 Hamersly Library currently has 98 information databases
 Websites are connected to databases
 Discovery and manipulation tools will evolve
 i.e. e-brary paragraph search, RefWorks,
automated note cards

Library Strategies
 Collection Development
 Comprehensive Instruction
http://library.nsuok.edu/tutorials/index.html
Example Collection Development Strategies
 Identify curriculum relevant web content
 Index by course on library web pages
 Buy access to journal collections that are relevant to the
curriculum

Use cancellations of duplication in print to fund purchases
 1 print title buys 31 e-journals
 Purchase e-books in collections that are relevant to the
curriculum


$3 for e-books versus $51 for print
At this point its value is primarily as a research collection
rather than cover-to-cover reading
Instruction Strategy
 Association of College and Research Libraries



Comprehensive Instruction
Horizontally – i.e. all incoming students
Vertically– i.e. specific to departments & courses
 Instruction using modules
