Katie Day on 07 Apr 11There is a link to the PDF poster on this page: "One poster session used Google tools to implement a frugal approach toward e-resource reservations. "E-Resource Renewal Awareness: Using Google Calendar to Bring Selectors on Board [PDF]," presented by Columbia University librarians Jeffrey Carroll, Colleen Major, and John Tofanelli, uses a Google Calendar-based system to track e-resource subscriptions-specifically, expenditures and renewal dates, which, as the poster points out, "are typically buried in acquisitions modules." Constructed around an off-the-shelf Google application, the project exemplifies how to use readily (and freely) available tools to tackle important tasks."
