We talked about the new date that we plan on making a suggestion to the Strategy & Planning Council about an electronic resources management system. They said that we need to have a proposal ready by March. Janice said we are going to aim for January, knowing that we may slip a little due to ALA in January.

In June and July, we will view Sirsi’s ERMS and Serials Solultions 360.

Also in June, we will be talking with the directors of the various libraries about what concerns they have with electronic resources management, whether current or in the future. We’ll having talking points ready before we approach them. In short, we’ll want to know:

  • what titles are in a particular package
  • what happens when we cancel a title
  • how to easily track the work flow
  • how the information is centralized in one place

At our next meeting, which will be occurring once a month now, we’ll produce a document of requirements for an ERMS procurement process.

If you have any questions about our ERMS Team (lead by Janice Adlington) or about the various products we are evaluating, please feel free to contact me. Thanks!
