“…There are many challenges in the management of digital libraries. 30 On one hand, 'students may have misconceptions about library resources' due to their 'affective and perceptual biases towards certain types of sources'. 31 On the other hand, 'in the fast, ever-changing world of electronic resources, the question remains about whether librarians can and need to catalog the entire Internet and if they can satisfy their patrons in this way'.…”

“…One result has been an explosion in the number and scope of electronic resources and an exponential increase in the complexity of their management. The literature amply documents the many administrative, staffing, internal communication, and technical concerns surrounding electronic resources and the strategies developed by libraries to address them (Cole, 2005;Duranceau, 2002;Feather, 2007;Lewis, 2001;Markwith, Antonucci-Durgan, Gombo, & Loghry, 2005;Mischo, Norman, Shelburne, & Schlembach, 2006;Skaggs, Poe, & Stevens, 2006;Watson, 2003). As such, electronic resource management does not fit into the traditional personnel structures or workflows, which evolved in a print-based world (Cole, 2005;Dezelar-Tiedman, 1999;Duranceau, 2002;Feather, 2007).…”

In 2010, after two previous unsuccessful attempts at electronic resources management system (ERMS) implementation, Texas A&M University (TAMU) Libraries set out once again to find an ERMS that would fit its needs. After surveying the field, TAMU Libraries selected the University of Notre Dame Hesburgh Libraries-developed, open-source ERMS, CORAL (Centralized Online Resources Acquisitions and Licensing). This article documents the selection, planning, and implementation of CORAL at the Texas A&M University Libraries as well as future plans for the system.Attend any library conference in the last few years and the subject of electronic resource management systems (ERMS) is sure to come up, either in the program or as a topic of conversation. Despite the number of proprietary and open-source options available, these presentations and discussions indicate that finding the Holy Grail might be easier than finding the perfect ERMS. In 2010, after two previous unsuccessful attempts at ERMS implementation, Texas A&M University (TAMU) Libraries set out once again on its quest to find the elusive ERMS that would fit its needs. After surveying the field, TAMU Libraries selected the University of Notre Dame Hesburgh Libraries-developed, open-source ERMS: Centralized Online Resources Acquisitions and Licensing (CORAL). This article documents the selection, planning, and implementation of CORAL at the Texas A&M University Libraries, as well as future plans for the system. BACKGROUNDTAMU is a research-intensive institution with more than 50,000 students engaged in over 150 courses of study on its main campus. The University Libraries include five on-campus libraries: Sterling C. Evans Library (the general university library); Cushing 16 Downloaded by [Stony Brook University] at 09:53 20 December 2014 CHARTING A COURSE THROUGH CORAL 17Memorial Library and Archives; Medical Sciences Library (MSL); West Campus Library (business); and Policy Sciences and Economics Library. Altogether, 80 librarians and 175 professional and classified staff are employed in the University Libraries. In FY 2012, the overall University Libraries' budget exceeded $37 million, with more than $12 million of collection expenditure spent on electronic resources. The majority of these expenditures are applied among three types of resources: electronic serials (over 67,000); databases (roughly 1,000); and ebooks (over 100,000).As if sheer size and the resultant financial commitment toward electronic resources were not enough incentive to have a full functioning ERMS, TAMU is also the flagship campus of the Texas A&M University System, a group made up of 14 campuses, 7 state agencies, and 1 health science center. In this capacity, TAMU Libraries negotiates licenses for TAMU System subscriptions, maintains an SFX server that reflects these shared subscriptions, and often acts as the liaison between the campuses and vendors when problems arise. These duties make it imperative that TAMU Libraries have an effective ERMS that records access rights and provides tran...

“…We propose a one-stop-shop digital platform for community energy. The term "onestop-shop" has had many meanings in the reviewed literature, ranging from a network of SMEs in a similar industry sector [38] to a process for managing user access to electronic library resources [39]. In this work, a "one-stop-shop" describes a business or organisation that offers a range of services or products all in one place.…”

In the European energy market, the community energy sector is earmarked to make a significant contribution to the transition from fossil fuels to sustainable sources. Based on the diffusion of innovation model, large-scale development of community energy requires that the concept and the success of existing energy communities be widely communicated to potential participants and that user confidence be developed over time. In this paper, we present the architecture, design, prototyping, and testing of a digital support platform, co-designed with EU-wide energy communities, to support this process. The platform has been designed to engage early-stage or ongoing groups to progress projects and to connect and share experiences with other communities. This “community of communities” creates the necessary communication channel defined in the Diffusion of Innovation model. A transactional architecture for such a platform is outlined with clear links to all community energy actors. Based on this architecture, a prototype one-stop-shop (OSS) implementation is presented. Feedback gathered and lessons learned from beta testing with a representative group of end-users are outlined. The OSS architecture shows potential as a communications channel to expand the community energy concept and as a monitoring tool to track the progress of the energy community sector.
