SCONUL's Higher Education Library Technology website (HELibTech-
http://helibtech.com/ ) has been updated with a short article on ERM
systems. Included in the article are some references to the recent (April
2010) edition of 'Against The Grain' (the journal associated with the
Charleston conference) which has a series of articles on ERM
systems---useful for anyone thinking about how best to manage their
electronic resources.
One author writes. 'Manual data entry has also been a major concern with
commercial ERMS products' and another says 'many libraries do not have the
budget to pay for an ERM system; others feel they do not have the time or
staffing capabilities to fully implement a system once it is purchased'.
Go to the HELibTech home page (http://helibtech.com/) and click on the
'Electronic Resource Management' link (under the 'Specific themes' heading
-- other 'Themes' so far are Open Source, RFID, Shared Services, and
Reading_Resource lists
If anyone has anything to add, or experience to share please feel free to
