Further Development

Librarians responsible for allied health or health sciences materials collect and maintain resources, such as print and electronic books and journals, non-book materials, such as anatomical models and flashcards, citation and full-text databases, and point-of-care resources. To simplify the process, there are selection aids for all stages of collecting as well as methods of assessing a collection’s strengths and weaknesses. Librarians who are involved in the collection development process will find support from professional organizations that provide opportunities for further development of skills and knowledge, venues for presenting, and avenues for members’ to share advice and expertise. This chapter will provide guidance for the librarian new to collecting in the health sciences on each step of the process and point to best practices to maximize efficiency and effectiveness.

There are no accepted standards governing naming electronic resources in A to Z lists or electronic resource management (ERM) systems. Current practice superficially resembles cataloging standards and guidelines, but is substantially ad hoc, and reliant on local adaptation and innovation. A little more predictability is needed to make finding and using electronic resources easier. This chapter describes issues related to naming electronic resources and concludes with a draft set of principles and conventions for designating names or titles in the context of A to Z lists and ERM systems. It will also examine the unique issue of electronic resource volatility and its impact on maintenance. The focus will be on integrated or continuously updated electronic resources, such as bibliographic and full text databases, and reference works.

ABSTRACT This paper presents the Download Parser, a tool for handling text downloads from large online databases. Many universities have access to full-text databases which allow the user to search their holdings and then view and ideally download the full text of relevant articles, but there are important problems in practice in managing such downloads, because of factors such as duplication, unevenness of formatting standards, lack of documentation. The tool under discussion was devised to parse downloads, clean them up and standardise them, identify headlines and insert suitably marked-up headers for corpus analysis.
