They have progressed to the point where Verde is now an integral part of the collections and acquisitions processes. This presentation reflects on how the ERMS served as a marker for internal changed as the University of Calgary moved to a digital-preferred collection, including the creation of new positions, new roles, and new workflows."

- Licensing for Open Access materials: the current workflow of academic libraries and future prospects
(source: Peck, Roxanne (2008) / déposé sur dLIST, 17/02/09)
"The evolution of libraries into the digital age has brought about a multitude of issues regarding rights and usage of electronic library materials. In the past, the traditional library model simply involved dealing with the physical book or journal. The rights regarding this material traditionally fell within the realm of the fair use copyright clause. The proliferation of purchased and free electronic resources available for immediate use by library patrons has dramatically changed the traditional academic library landscape through the use of licensing of resources by creators of Open Access (OA) content and publishers. The licensing workflows in the library can present opportunities for the academic libraries to play an important role."
