Open Source Electronic Resource Management Systems: CORAL and ERMes: ALA Program in New
Orleans
From: "Nardini, Bob" <bnardini_at_couttsinfo.com>
Please join us in New Orleans for this program co-sponsored by RUSA CODES
and ALCTS of interest to all librarians involved with the management of
electronic resources.
*Open Source Electronic Resource Management Systems: CORAL and ERMes*
To tame the complex and ever-changing electronic resource management
landscape, electronic resource management systems (ERMS) need to be
flexible, evolving, and affordable. Two such systems are ERMes and CORAL,
developed by libraries for libraries and made freely available. ERMes,
developed at the University of Wisconsin-LaCrosse, runs in Microsoft Access
and is suitable for small and medium libraries. CORAL, developed at the
University of Notre Dame, is a modular, web-based system. Presenters will
discuss the development and future plans of each system while also
demonstrating how they use these ERMS. Join us to learn more about these
free ERMS and answer such question as: Why open source ERMS? Which of these
free e-resource management systems might help me simplify e-resource
management at my library? How can an ERMS help me save time and money?
Our speakers are: Galadriel Chilton and William Doering of the University of
Wisconsin-La Crosse, and Benjamin Heet and Robin Malott of the University of
Notre Dame.
When: Sunday, 26 June 2011, 10:30am - 12:00pm
Where: Morial Convention Center, Room 391 (MCC391), American Library
Association Annual Conference, New Orleans, Louisiana
