We Have Our ERM System, It's Implemented: Why am I Still Going Here and There to Get the Information I Need?

Abstract

In this session the presenter advocated for the development of an electronic resources management (ERM) system administrative record to facilitate the storage of administrative data needed to manage e-resources. Included was a summary of the results of a survey conducted to ascertain where libraries were currently storing administrative data and whether or not inclusion of an administrative record in an ERM system would facilitate use of records for such purposes. Steps to adapt current ERM system records for use in creating stand-in administrative records was offered as well as a sampling of administrative ERM records created at the presenter's institution. © 2013 Copyright The North American Serials Interest Group, Inc.
