Abstract

The author describes the nontraditional route she took in becoming an e-resources librarian after three decades as an information professional and details the challenges she has faced, including the absence of formal training and unavailability of mentors. These experiences are not atypical for new e-resources practitioners, especially those in smaller libraries. The column concludes with a description of the discussions and strategies that e-resources librarians in the USMAI Library Consortium have been undertaking in an attempt to address training and mentorship.
