The NASIG Board approved and adopted “Core Competencies of
Electronic Resources Librarianship” as NASIG policy at
their June 2013 meeting in Buffalo, New York.

Sarah Sutton, former chair of the Core Competencies Task
Force (CCTF), notes that she and the CCTF have high hopes
that both library and information professionals and LIS
educators will find the document a valuable resource upon
which to base their work. Sarah writes, “I am so gratified
that many practitioners have already used the draft
document, which circulated in the professional community
over the past few months. It has sparked much interest and
use, as evidenced by the wonderful sessions at the recent
NASIG Annual Conference. I think the document supports
NASIG’s Vision to promote dialogue and professional
growth, to provide learning opportunities, to advocate for
its constituents, to challenge assumptions and traditions,
and to take a leadership role in the information
environment.”

“Core Competencies of Electronic Resources
Librarianship” is available on the NASIG website,
