Abstract
When the surrounding world put greater demands on the libraries, and the resources don’t always grow at the same pace, we are looking at ways to simplify our processes working with E-resources. We have experienced that it’s difficult to make systems to interact each other. Implementing new systems and tools bring challenges. This can lead to complex relations and lack of interaction between the different systems. In Uppsala we try to streamline and simplify the processes involved in the management of E-resources. What makes it more efficient for librarians working with the systems, and how does the systems affect the user experience?
