My coworker gave me this book because I had no idea how to do that portion of my new job. I read it in a few days and it's a solid introduction to the field that cleared up lots of jargon as well as providing best practices. No recommendations for systems or specific vendors included but lots of options for the electronic resource librarian to consider.

Overall a good book. My current position is "Electronic Resources Librarian" so most of the information in the book was already known to me but I did learn a thing or two. It was also valuable to see these things that I've either learned by doing or heard through professional circles and never formally been taught, actually written down and given a bit of authorization and credence.

I would suggest this title to librarians both beginning and experienced in the field of electronic resources management. I would also suggest it to librarians, library staff and others who may work with these individuals to better understand the issues involved in the work. I would love it if my colleagues and coworkers (and supervisors) knew more about what I do.

Took me forever to get through this one, but there was good information in it.
