eResource Manager

This role page contains essential, basic, intermediate knowledge-based materials. If available, it may contain expert knowledge as well. Here is more about the levels. The beginning level for someone who has just been hired or someone who is moving into a different role within their current workplace. Next is the early/intermediate level. Next would be a truly intermediate stage and ultimately being an advanced user within a library.

The roles are meant to be general since library staff have more responsibilities than their job title states in the description and many library staff wear many hats. In order to get all the information needed for your library position, you may need to look at multiple roles. Please feel free to create your own more specific onboarding for your position from the documentation listed for each role.

eResource Manager is responsible for managing serials, including ordering, receiving, and maintaining serials in electronic formats; for training, supervising, and evaluating employees. Or, Ensure the electronic library collection is balanced, equitable, relevant, and cataloged appropriately for the community needs.
