[E-Resources Workflow @ GPC]
• 5 campuses involved, so major e-resources purchases are committee-based & annual only.
• Trial selection in Jan./Feb. • Trials in March. • Decisions in mid-April. • Adds/drops take place on July 1.• Piloting e-book purchases throughout the year
at individual campus level.
[E-Resources Workflow @ GPC]
