Keeping pace with the rapid advance of library technology and electronic services can be both exciting and daunting, especially for libraries with a small (but mighty!) staff. Out of necessity, small staffs often undertake many disparate tasks in order to keep electronic resources running smoothly for users. Because of these constraints, it is useful for small library staffs to take a step back and consider re-organization in order to streamline their processes and maximize staff efficiency. As two librarians of a small staff (one veteran acquisitions librarian, Lynné Colbert, and one newcomer, electronic resource management librarian, Caitlin Balgeman), we seek to explain our current methods of re-organizing our electronic resource management (ERM) responsibilities and workflows in ways that make sense for our evolving library. For each of our three focus areas, we will describe our shifts in practice and list practical ways other small library staffs can re-focus their efforts in order to make the most of their time, and ultimately improve external service by improving internal workflows.
