Resource Management

The Resource Management Department integrates key operations in the acquisition and management of library materials that meet the needs of the Marquette community. It also shares responsibility for investigating, advancing and promoting new models of scholarly communication, including such issues as copyright, fair use, open access, author rights, research data management, and the economics of scholarly publishing. (See Transforming Scholarly Communication at Marquette for more information).

The goals of the Resource Management Department are to:

  • steward resources wisely for the acquisition and preservation of collections
  • assess and evaluate the Libraries' resources to determine their effectiveness
  • increase the Libraries' capacity to acquire and access information resources in all formats
  • engage with campus stakeholders to assure awareness of and encourage support for changing models of scholarly communication

The Department is comprised of the E-Resource Management Unit as well as the coordinated efforts of subject specialist/liaison librarians.
