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.

Shifting Landscape of Research Funding: Challenges, Collaborations, and Tools- Sponsored by IET

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

554 | Anchor

Securing research funding remains a persistent challenge for academics, requiring significant time and effort with uncertain outcomes. As traditional funding sources become increasingly competitive, researchers are looking beyond government and institutional grants to industry partnerships and alternative funding models. However, navigating these opportunities comes with its own complexities, including aligning academic goals with industry priorities, managing intellectual property, and understanding evolving funding policies.

Academic libraries can play a critical role in supporting researchers through this shifting landscape. From providing expertise on funding sources and compliance to facilitating connections with industry and assisting with data management and open science mandates, libraries can serve as strategic partners in the research funding process. This session will explore key funding challenges, the growing role of industry collaboration, and how libraries can help researchers identify and secure sustainable funding.
