Abstract
Abstract Libraries need to regularly reassess their collections making mobile accessibility a top priority to meet the expanding needs of the remote patron. In the changing landscape of patron’s information-seeking behaviors during the COVID-19 pandemic, users expect richer digital access with an eye toward mobile usage. Transitioning collections from print to electronic can also ensure that usage statistics are more reliable, and that the most valuable resources are being acquired.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Electronic Resources in Medical Libraries is a peer-reviewed professional journal devoted to the access, evaluation, and management of electronic resources in the medical library environment. This journal will be an essential resource for academic medical school libraries, hospital libraries, and other health sciences libraries. The material in the Journal of Electronic Resources in Medical Libraries will complement articles published in Medical Reference Services Quarterly (also edited by M. Sandra Wood), which highlights the reference and bibliographic instruction aspects of electronic resources.
