(CLA ACTSS)

As more resources become available electronically, libraries face an 
ever increasing challenge of managing, providing access, and collecting 
e-metrics of electronic resources. In order to streamline this activity,

libraries are revisiting and refreshing their organizational structures 
to properly staff and manage e-resources. Some have adopted a 
centralized model and others are continuing to follow a distributed 
model where the work is incorporated throughout the library. This 
program will cover the four major areas of ERMS:

Electronic Resources Management Systems: What ERM systems are available?

How to assess what your library needs, getting started with ERMS, 
evaluating ERMS.

Organizational Integration: Who is involved in managing e-resources 
throughout the library? What are the license issues; what workflow 
designs have been developed by libraries?

E-Metrics: Extracting and analyzing electronic resource data - best 
practices

Future trends: Where ERMS are going

Objectives of the Pre-Conference Institute:

*Understand the current issues and trends in the management of
electronic 
resources, including licensing, internal workflow models, and
assessment.

Also examine the historical context that led to ERMs and current 
standards.

*Be able to identify current and prospective ERM systems, understand
what 
they are offering, and be able to compare and evaluate competing
products.

*Understand real-world implementation of ERM systems and the work 
required on the part of purchasing libraries.

Serials, collection development, acquisitions, electronic resources and 
acquisitions librarians, or anyone else charged with managing electronic

products and subscriptions will be interested in this program.
