Abstract: The Smithsonian Institution Libraries (SIL) use a locally developed and maintained database for managing electronic resources. Journal and database titles, vendors, interlibrary loan, usage, and SIL persistent URLs are collected and tracked for free and subscribed content in one central access tool. This session discussed the current workflows along with the pros and cons of such an arrangement, and some possible future directions for SIL. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
