The California State University (CSU) Libraries acquire electronic resources in a variety of ways. Some are centrally paid for by the Chancellor’s Office (CO), while others are purchased directly by individual libraries. Currently, the CO maintains Electronic Core Collection (ECC) and the Systemwide Digital Library Content (SDLC) Opt-in resources in the CO instance in SFX, while each campus maintains local resources in their SFX instance. Resources in the local instance are activated in the appropriate SFX targets. Local acquisitions, licensing and e-resource management are managed by the Institution (local library). This document reflects Model One: Local Only and addresses best practices in the Institution Zone (IZ). It is not intended to be used for shared acquisitions.
Policy Statement
This document provides best practices and procedures for selecting and activating new e-Resources in the Institution Zone (IZ) as it relates to Model 1: Local Only. These resources will continue to be locally acquired, licensed, and managed by the individual libraries. This policy does not include detailed steps for acquisitions or ordering. Please Note: E-Books and Media will have a different policy.
