ERM Task Force & Survey Results Emily A. Hicks University of Dayton Electronic Resource Management Forum May 9, 2011
Work to Date • Task Force Website • Survey of ERM Use at OhioLINK Libraries • Bibliography of ERM Resources • Glossary • Presentations at EGL-IUG & IUG • Planned Series of Community Forums
From Survey “We don't have the resources, personnel and support that many of the university libraries have access to, so our students are at a disadvantage.”
Information Collected in ERM? • Selected information displayed to the public • Databases/links, descriptions, permissions, fair use data, subjects • More information is collected for staff use • Vendor contacts, journal titles, trials, renewals, resource advisories, logins/passwords
ERM Functions Used? • Links to order records • Ticklers/reminders • Incidents logs • Links to check-in records • Tracking license set up, activation, and cancellation
Need Assistance? • Resources • License Tracking • Workflows • Training • Assessment
From Survey “We are still developing our procedures for dealing with electronic resources and we know that more can be done to improve the process we are following now.”
OhioLINK ERM System? “If OhioLINK could provide an ERM, that would be wonderful because then all of the OhioLINK resources could be added once for participating libraries. “ “We are waiting for a consortium-level ERM strategy and are willing to strongly consider opting in for a group-level ERM operation if it can show local holdings.”
OhioLINK ERM System? “We see a need for the ERM as a centralized system to: 1. Create a more efficient means to track and display access and licensing information [and] 2. Provide a tool for harvesting usage statistics for collection analysis.”
Next Steps • Use Survey Data & Forum Feedback to Plan Future Training Days • Continued Collaboration to Support and Improve Access to E-Resources • Saw What Other Libraries are Doing at IUG
