<p class="MsoNormal">Hello All,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve been asked by my organization to “quantify my work” as a solo electronic resources librarian.<u></u><u></u></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.<u></u><u></u></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.<u></u><u></u></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!<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks,<u></u><u></u></p>
