Editorial Review:

How do you judge the accuracy, reliability and completeness of an electronic or online database? Can quality be designed in? In the early 1990s, several initiatives were launched, including the influential SCOUG (Southern California Online Users Group) database rating scale. This project was intended to review database performance across ten broad categories: consistency; coverage and scope; timelessness; accuracy/error rate; accessibility/ease of use; integration; output; documentation; customer support and training; value-to-cost ratio. This volume looks at the progress of these initiatives. Contributions are from a variety of perspectives - database producers, online seach services, legal experts, as well as users. All agree on the criteria for judging the quality of an information product or service, and that information products should be subject to the same rules of performance as other goods or services. As well as descriptions of the issues involved in designing and implementing high quality electronic and online products, this book describes the shortcomings of many current products, and presents criteria by which to judge database quality.

Electronic Resources: Implications for Collection Management shows librarians the strengths and weaknesses of electronic resources and the implications these resources have on collection management. The book then helps librarians incorporate electronic resources into their collections accordingly.

Contributors in Electronic Resources provide a broad look at the ways in which electronic information affects the business of building and maintaining library collections. They examine the history of electronic resources in document collections and share with readers a thorough analysis of the gains and losses libraries can expect to experience in an increasingly digital environment. Readers also learn:

• how to budget for both traditional and emerging information sources
• the effects of electronic collections on the public services realm
• how to assess the value of journals amidst the many different access and delivery mechanisms
• how to use resource sharing as a solution tothe archival problems which arise as libraries collect materials in continuously proliferating formats
• selection criteria for electronic resources
• how to assemble electronic resources into archives
• social implications of electronic collections
  
  Academic librarians in collection management will find Electronic Resources an essential resource for finding their place in the electronic environment. Librarians will refer to this volume again and again as they adjust to increasing dependence upon electronic resources for fulfilling their patrons’needs.
