<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">The complexity of what you’re after, about which I would be very interested in exploring a followup study, has to do with the ways e-resources are staffed. I argue as either by e-resource specialists/specialty
or as a distributed e-resources skillset. I’ll pull out specifics of how we calculated our FTE to cover e-resource work in our reorganization (that granularity isn’t really detailed in the article) and post here. I’m happy to discuss further by phone if
you are interested. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hello All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve been asked by my organization to “quantify my work” as a solo electronic resources librarian.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve spent quite some time searching for this information myself- but have come up empty in the resources available to me.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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!<o:p></o:p></p>
