E-Package Renewals

Managing E-Packages: Challenges for the Library

• Libraries are facing shrinking budgets and resources and thus need tools to minimise staff time and effort in handling "e".

• Gathering and maintaining all the information required to manage each individual license can be difficult and time-consuming, thus delaying the renewal and invoicing of the collection from year to year.

• Keeping track of titles as they move in and out of publisher collections is challenging and time consuming.

• One definitive subscription list!

E-Package Renewals
