Workflow Management Tools for Electronic Resources Management

ABSTRACT

This segment of the Sharpest Tool in the Shed column explores three tools to aid libraries in the management of electronic resources. Electronic resources management is often multistep, time-consuming work riddled with almost identical workflows, and the tools discussed in this column provide ways to save time as well as handle work more efficiently. Drawing on research and conference presentations, this column will examine the workflow management tools Trello, Asana, and Planner.
