These projects have included a budget reduction plan and major print deselection project, as well as ongoing, prospective budget management. …

Roesch Library Faculty Publications

The objective of this study was to identify common communication issues that arise during the electronic resource lifecycle and identify communication strategies academic libraries are using effectively to manage electronic resources.
