Thanks

Hello,

I would also love to have this information being the only electronic resource librarian at Idaho State University.

Hello All,

I’ve been asked by my organization to “quantify my work” as a solo electronic resources librarian.
While I understand that the world of managing e-resources is complicated and varies based on institution, I was hoping to find an article, study, etc. that might list the average hours spent by staff, per e-resource title, on managing (the entire lifecycle) an e-resource.  Perhaps something like, in a library with 10,000 e-resource titles X amount of staff hours are used to manage those titles each week.  Or, on average, one e-resource title takes X amount of staff hours to manage during its time as part of the library collection- beginning to end.  Or even a breakdown of how much average time is spent on the various aspects of  e-resources management e.g. hours spent on selection, acquiring, providing access/maintenance, troubleshooting, usage statistics, etc.
I’ve spent quite some time searching for this information myself- but have come up empty in the resources available to me.
If anyone knows of any articles that might include some of this type of information, or even a standard that your library has for these numbers- I’d VERY much appreciate learning about them!

Thanks,
Holly
