ERM Overview
Sarah Peterson gave an overview of the Electronic Resource Management (ERM) tool that has been built for Metro. The ERM will be used to better coordinate the management information related to the cost, access (including licensing info), and use of all of our electronic subscriptions and acquisitions. For now, access is limited to collection development and management staff and those in the digital library, but it may be opened up for others later. It was launched this past winter, and had a subset of resources included. Other resources will be added in the coming months. The tool can be used to set targets for use and cost per use, so that collection development staff can more easily determine which resources are performing well and which are underperforming.
