Building a Patron-Driven E-Library in Era of Limited Resources
Course Description
During
the print era, academic library collections were built with physical objects,
and therefore had to be anticipatory in nature. That is to say, the only
effective way to meet academic needs was to have the physical objects (books
and journals) waiting on shelves before patrons knew that they would be needed.
This
meant that collections had to be built using a combination of speculation
(“what will our patrons need?”) and professional expertise (“what constitutes a
good collection?”). in the online era, when scholarly information is no longer
delivered primarily by means of physical objects; it is now possible to give
patrons access to books that have not yet been purchased, and to purchase them
only when need has been demonstrated by actual use.
As
a result of the new development and current needs, it is imperative that we
equip the staffs of higher institutions to cope with challenges affecting
e-libraries in higher Institution.
