Abstract
Abstract As part of the 2022 NC Serials Conference, Li Ma, e-resource and serials librarian from the University of South Carolina (USC) presented a lightning talk describing staff training efforts on e-Resources management in Alma, an Ex Libris’ cloud-based Library Management System. She discussed challenges encountered by their e-Resources with respect to learning of new concepts and workflows, strategies they followed and some tips for effective training. The talk wrapped up with some closing thoughts, ideas for on-going/future training and “nice to have” features that could be incorporated within Alma for a robust trained staff in future.

The journal encompasses practical, theoretical, and visionary ideas for librarians, publishers, vendors, and anyone interested in the changing nature of serials. Serials Review covers all aspects of serials management: format considerations, publishing models, statistical studies, collection analysis, collaborative efforts, reference and access issues, cataloging and acquisitions, people who have shaped the serials community, and topical bibliographic studies.
