Ordering Electronic Resources
Selectors should submit Networked Electronic Resource Forms (NERFs) to the E-Resources and Serials Management (ERSM) Unit for all networked resources. ERSM also maintains instructions for using the NERF, as well as a tracking system for orders submitted via NERF. Please note that staff will not process new requests for e-resources without a NERF in hand. Contact ERLM-L@cornell.edu for assistance.
Database Trials
DRC and LTS members have created a wiki space to announce and record trials of electronic resources.
Selectors are encouraged to set up trials themselves, but if they need help contact the E-Resources Unit at e-resources@cornell.edu.
The reasons for this method of documentation include centralizing and tracking the availability of e-resource trials, reducing duplication among selectors, and providing a consistent mode for feedback. Once you have set up a trial, please send an announcement of the trial to CU-LIB so that all can be informed of it.
Electronic Journals.
Electronic journals are journals whose full text is accessible online, either in addition to or instead of a paper subscription. Acquiring access may involve licences, extra costs, consortial negotiations, and oversight. Cornell sometimes works with consortia when negotiating with publishers or vendors. See the following for the principles established by the NorthEast Research Libraries (NERL), of which we are a member.
Voyager Fund codes, to be appended to the fund number when ordering an item (NOTE: these are no longer necessary since we moved to FOLIO):
-01 Electronic remote (accessed on the web)
-02 Electronic local (accessed locally, usually CD-ROMs)
-03 Replacement copies
If an item is mixed media, for example, a CD in the back of a book, or a pamphlet accompanying a CD, use -02 or not, based on the preponderant format.
