And in recent years, the very concept of \"collection\" has been significantly redefined by the addition of electronic resources. But are print and digital materials really merged in library collections or are they treated and maintained as separate entities? Integrating Print and Digital Resources in Library Collections examines a variety of collection management issues, combining practical theory, research findings, \"how-to\" articles, and opinion pieces to encourage efforts in establishing fully integrated and accessible collections.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile achieving a truly integrated collection can be difficult, the failure to do so can lead to duplication of access, effort, and expense. Integrating Print and Digital Resources in Library Collections can help guide you through the difficult aspects of keeping your collection up-to-date, including the \"Big Deal\" and consortial purchasing, shifting the emphasis from purchasing print to procuring online resources for library reference work, analyzing use patterns of electronic versus hard copy resources, serials workflow studies, and review projects. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntegrating Print and Digital Resources in Library Collections examines: \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e the implications of electronic resource licenses\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e future directions of academic reference collections\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e technologies that can help integrate electronic resources into reference collections\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e the \"Big Deal\"--the purchase of access to large aggregations of materials in electronic formats \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e integrating electronic resources into the collections of ARL libraries\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e a corporate library's progression to an all-digital collection\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e how to decide what can--and can't--be digitized\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e how large e-book collections affect the circulation of comparable print collections\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e and much more \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003eIntegrating Print and Digital Resources in Library Collections is an invaluable resource for librarians--experts and beginners--seeking to develop the best collections for their patrons.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Inc","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46930474696855,"sku":"9780789028334","price":6766.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780789028334.webp?v=1771607166","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/integrating-print-and-digital-resources-in-library-collections-9780789028334","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
