- Meanwhile, user behavior and attitudes seem to be changing even more quickly. For example, nearly half of the undergraduates
  surveyed by Outsell, Inc., for a recent study of the scholarly information environment indicated that they used e-resources
  either exclusively or almost exclusively (Friedlander 2002). That study also showed that many faculty and graduate students
  would like to see more journals available to them electronically. However, as many librarians can attest, demand for expanded
  access to e-resources is only part of the story. Users now compare their libraries' services to such recent innovations as
  the Google search engine and Amazon.com, and they expect libraries to provide similar levels of simplicity, power, and convenience.
- Another challenge lies in the nature and characteristics
  of some of the new resources. For example, most libraries now spend significant amounts of money on aggregator databases. Available from companies such as EBSCO, Gale, LexisNexis, and ProQuest, these databases provide access to the
  contents or partial contents of large numbers of periodicals. Although such collections often provide substantial benefits,
  reliably and routinely determining which journals they provide--for what periods of time, in what format, and with what degree
  of currency or completeness--has been an elusive goal.
- 11 more annotations...
- - users were often presented with special alphabetical or subject lists of e-resources
    to help meet this descriptive or resource-discovery need.
  - In recent years,
    libraries have also begun linking their indexing and full-text resources through proprietary database vendor solutions and
    broader, standards-based tools Ex Libris's SFX, thus not only providing greater user convenience but also adding a layer
    of complexity to the management of e-resources.
  - Public Display Administrator
  - Libraries commonly present users with multiple routes to licensed resources, including OPAC catalog entries, alphabetical
    and subject Web page listings, e-reserve links, and links connecting index or abstract entries to the corresponding full text.
    The mechanisms used to provide these presentations are generally hidden from public view.
  - The Permitted Uses of Databases link takes users to the appropriate section of a lengthy document summarizing permitted uses
    for many or most of the library's licensed resources
  - Whereas MIT's and Yale's summaries are designed for use by
    those library systems alone, Gold Rush can provide summary license terms to all libraries sharing the system and particular
    resources.
  - These problems may manifest
    themselves in a variety of ways, such as prompts for usernames and passwords or other messages that may be difficult to understand.
    Still more vexing may be that an access problem related to a particular publisher's package of e- journals or an aggregator
    service can affect all its component journals--entries for which may be dispersed through an online catalog or Web list of
    journals available online.
    
    When any of these circumstances arise, it may be difficult or impossible for a library to effectively manage communication
    with staff and affected users. One promising approach to staff communication is shown in figure 18, which depicts a Status
    screen from UCLA's ERDb system. The upper half of this screen displays basic information about the resource in question, while
    the lower half provides space to record information about a reported incident, such as a user's name, IP address, Internet
    service provider, and browser; a description of the problem; the action required; and the present status of the problem.
  - * Usage statistics are an increasing focus of interest for many libraries. In addition to relying on vendor-provided usage
    data, many libraries collect such data locally. The steering group asked the panel members whether an ERM system should store
    usage data or merely point users to external data sources. Although most respondents found pointers to be adequate, a number
    felt that a common framework for storing and presenting statistics from disparate sources should be provided.
    
    * Many large libraries use persistent URIs. Support for them can be critical to the library's operation. In general, libraries
    that assign persistent URIs want to be able to record them in the ERM system. Many agreed that being able to generate persistent
    URIs was both desirable and feasible since the algorithms by which they are assigned tend to be highly formulaic.
  - 5. Make resources available through or pass on information about resources to OPACs and Web-presentation services using traditional
    resource discovery methods, including the ability to search and browse by author, title, alternate titles, cross-references,
    subject, and keywords, facilitate the generation of dynamic, database-driven
    
    --
    
    Web pages that constitute pathfinders, course- or discipline-specific pages, or lists of selected e-resources in a given subject
    area and of a given type (e.g., e-journals, article databases) while supporting fully customizable presentation templates
    that are not limited to the branding and look and feel of the native interface;
  - 6. Offer contextual presentation of relevant license information to the user at the point of access, regardless of the access
    path taken through any supported tool,
    
    6.1. make apparent to users whether or not they are authorized for access under the license
    6.2. display relevant permitted uses, use restrictions, and special requirements such as:
    
    6.2.1. permission to use in course packs, course Web sites, and distance education
    6.2.2. unusual prohibitions, such as record download limits and time of day restrictions
    6.2.3. citation requirements;
  - 8. Make available information about and provide access to other versions of the resource being viewed, including links to
    catalog holdings information for physical manifestations and direct links to all accessible electronic versions;
    
    9. Make available information about issues particular to the online interface, such as inaccessible or nonsubscribed portions
    not marked as such at the site, unusual log-on and log-off requirements, and navigation or accessibility features;
    
    10. Flag resources as unavailable in real time, with an optional explanatory note (see also Administrative and Management
    Functions); and
    
    11. Offer advisory notices of planned downtime and other time-sensitive information.
