The E-Resources Lifecycle: The EBSCO Ecosystem

Thursday May 1, 2025 9:00am - 9:50am EDT

The TERMS framework, developed by Jill Emery, Graham Stone, and Peter McCracken, postulates that e-resource resource management follows a recurring lifecycle, from evaluation to licensing to acquisitions to activation and access to discovery to management back to analysis and evaluation. This presentation intends to showcase how EBSCO's suite of products represents and enables the TERMS cycle for libraries. Attendees will leave with a better high level understanding of how EBSCO's products from GOBI to FOLIO integrate together and create a cohesive e-resource ecosystem.

The Next Step in Serials Transformative Agreement Management: Evaluation using Read and Publish Dashboards

Thursday May 1, 2025 4:05pm - 4:55pm EDT

554 | Achor

This session will guide you through the basics and explore trends in Transformative Agreements (TAs), including how they aim to transition traditional subscription models to open access and their implications for libraries. We will discuss their role in advancing open scholarship, the challenges they pose in terms of budgeting and administration, and how libraries can strategically assess their value. Following this, we’ll introduce the features of our innovative Read and Publish Dashboards. These dashboards integrate serials management with SaaS, providing actionable insights into your library’s data to help you make informed decisions about usage and expenditures. Whether your library is managing multiple Transformative Agreements or is just beginning to explore them, this session will deliver practical tools and insights to optimize your approach and make the most of these evolving models.
