Ess Ess Publications Electronic Resource Management What Why And How by Shiva Sukula
The revolution of information and technology has been sometimes compared with the Gutenberg revolution, when the printing press harnessed a mass delivery system to the medium of the written word. It is a good parallel to draw for the impact of the Internet, but it undervalues the other key feature of the interactive computer - its ability to adapt, according to a person's input, showing that it can be engaged with the knowledge process. The rapid advances in technology and knowledge revolution have made education a key to professional success, heightened by the importance of research and innovation. In this way, E-resources have already been made available across populations without any discrimination. E-resources have brought new possibilities to the classroom, yet, at the same time, they have placed more demands on teachers and researchers. This book provides a base for librarians, information officers, technologists, students, and researchers to find ideas that enable them to develop multinational and cross-institutional E-resource management systems, as well as to enhance their knowledge, expertise, and abilities with regard to the utilization of E-resources.
