'In Fundamentals of Electronic Resources Management, the authors have condensed efficiently an introduction to the subject, some resources for professionals new to this sector and a wealth of practical advice to help them along the way, ranging from copyright, to licence negotiation, to useful techniques for marketing and demonstrating the value of e-resources...it is clearly an excellent product for any new library and information science professional and student, due to its gradual introductory approach to the subject and to the absence of specialised lingo.Furthermore, the authors provide realistic scenarios and practical examples on topics ranging from negotiating techniques, to addressing user enquiries, to etiquette tips on how to effectively liaise between stakeholders and vendors for peaceful collaboration. For this reason, the book will prove invaluable for librarians who are about to acquire new responsibilities in e-resources management.'
