Selection Criteria for Electronic Resources
Author(s): Dr. M Manjunatha
Abstract - The availability In Electronic Format of scholarly and scientific literatures and other forms of information relevant to the needs of library users has profoundly altered the challenges faced by collection managers. Although the traditional goals of achieving quality, relevance, and balance at a fair price still animate most collection-development efforts, judgments about these attributes of resources have become more ambiguous. The traditional standards have also been joined by new and highly important criteria which include the definition of the allowable user group and the purposes for which use will be permitted, multi-faceted concerns about the functionality of resources, and concerns about the availability of permanent archives. The paper overviews the tools used for selection criteria of electronic information resources.
Keywords - E- Resources, Databases, Quality, Library Users.
