Electronic resource management in knowledgebases regularly encounters challenges of incomplete or incorrect metadata, evaluating packages for activation, and troubleshooting holdings information. Many decisions about e-resource inventory are driven by the need to provide immediate access to our collection, and considerations of metadata quality are usually secondary. The bibliographic rank is a value in Alma which indicates the overall quality of a record through an evaluation of completeness and richness. In this presentation, we will provide an overview of how the bibliographic rank score was collected and assessed to evaluate the quality of the library’s electronic resource records. The scores were assessed by overall category of score values, content format, provider, and subject areas. Our findings from the analysis were used to determine opportunities for adjusting our e-resource workflows, advocating for improved records with content providers, and notifying service providers of errors or required corrections.
