Subject: Second call for ERM survey respondents

Hello again!

First, I apologize for the cross-postings.  I am trying to reach as many

libraries as possible, and hence, this message is being sent across 13 
lists.  I have blind-copied the message and just put my e-mail address 
in the TO: field in an effort to prevent replies going to lists.  

Second, I have received 47 responses to my survey to date (as of 11:30 
CDT Saturday morning) and I thank all of you who have taken the time to 
fill out the form!  I have also received 13 individual responses for 
information about my findings and I thank all of you for your interest.

My goal is to have data from 100 libraries, which means I need at least 
another 53 responses.  Would you mind taking a few minutes to fill this 
out?  What I am researching is how libraries manage all of the license 
agreements involved with the various resources we subscribe to.  This 
would include public access resources such as online databases and 
encyclopedias as well as in-house resources, such as the library 
automation system, OCLC, etc.  I realize some automation systems have a 
module for managing this type of information.  However, sometimes it is 
too pricy for libraries to add this resource, so how are you keeping 
track of contact information, subscription dates, license agreements, 
etc.?  I have created a brief 1-page form which should take less than 
15 minutes to complete.  I ask for your help in this project.  If you 
want, I can keep you informed of what I discover.  Thank you for your 
time!
