Understanding Electronic Resources: This can include an overview of various types of electronic resources like e-books, journals, databases, and other digital media.
Metadata: Metadata is essential when it comes to electronic resources. It includes information about the resource, its creator, subject, keywords, and so on.
Cataloging: Cataloging is the process of creating records for electronic resources. It involves assigning unique identifiers, titles, subjects, and other metadata to help users locate and retrieve the resources.
Classification: Classification is used to organize resources into subject areas. There are several classification schemes like Dewey Decimal Classification, Library of Congress Classification, and others.
Authority Control: Authority control is essential in maintaining consistency in the bibliographic records. It involves controlling the headings used for various entities such as authors, subjects, and titles.
Access Control: Access control includes various methods used to limit access to the electronic resources. This includes subscription-based access, IP authentication, or other authentication methods.
Copyright Considerations: It is essential to understand copyright laws when it comes to electronic resources, including license agreements, fair use, and usage restrictions.
Preservation and Archiving: Preservation and archiving play a crucial role in maintaining electronic resources for the long term. It involves selecting appropriate formats, creating backups, and disaster recovery planning.
Digital Libraries: A digital library is a collection of electronic resources that can be accessed and searched online. Learning about digital libraries can help in understanding the different types of digital resources and how they are organized.
Standards and Technologies: Standards and technologies play a crucial role in managing electronic resources. Learning about various standards like MARC, Dublin Core, and others, along with technologies like XML, HTML, and others, can help in better management of electronic resources.
