Upcoming book on e-resource management in libraries


I was interested to read Organization Monkey’s post today about getting her author’s copy of a book with a chapter written by her. The book sounds very similar to the one to which I contributed some time ago but still hasn’t seen the light of day (sigh): Electronic Resource Management in Libraries: Research and Practice, Holly Yu and Scott Breivold, eds. (ISBN 9781599048918). Congratulations to her on that!

Here is a table of contents list for the book to which I contributed (E-journals Access and Management, Wayne Jones, ed. and published by Haworth, ISBN 9780789033857):
