This webinar was the first session of a two-part series intended to familiarize attendees with the practical applications of standards and best practices for collection management in an increasingly electronic world:
- usage statistics (COUNTER/SUSHI)
- licensing (SERU)
- publisher/platform changes (Transfer)
Jointly developed by librarians, system providers, publishers, and other community members, standards and best practices help grease the wheels to ensure better interoperability between systems and automate some tedious tasks. Presenters will introduce specific standards and describe how they work and their utility in helping libraries manage local and shared collections.
Available 24/7.
