Your patrons expect a certain level of service from your library, and this expectation is built on their experience with you and your collec¬tion. The expectations include your electronic resources, such as the ones to which you subscribe and how you provide access. You know which e-resources are more finicky than others, and your patrons know too. The e-resources in your collection that have their quirks are one thing (ah, you have to right-click to export a citation!), but we’re talking about the ones that seem to go belly-up for no good reason. If you’re a library patron and you click on a link to an e-resource and get a “404 Not Found” message or click on a link to see the current issue of an e-journal but get access only to an archive, what would you think? You’d likely be frustrated, and you can expect that your patrons would be, too. In addition to frustrating your patrons, it breaks their trust with you a little bit each time it happens. Your patrons will come to expect to not be able to access what you say they can access. In the competitive nature of today’s online information resources, this is trust you can’t afford to break.
