Pre-Conference Workshop Sunday, February 27, 8am-12pm

Is your library planning to implement electronic resources management software soon? Are you “getting organized” and reviewing your electronic resources processes? This workshop will focus on planning and preparing for ERM software, with emphasis on small to medium sized libraries who have not yet implemented an ERM product.

The session will emphasize the importance of planning and preparation in several important areas: a) workflows, b) licensing, c) access details, and d) usage statistics. We will also consider the inter-relationship between ERM software and other common library tools, such as an integrated library system and a link resolver.
