ER management

Summary: This page and its children contains procedures and policies for the management of electronic resources.

We use Electronic Resource Management (ERM) to manage our e-resource subscriptions, as well as some locally created list of e-resources:

• manage subscriptions
• manage license information (signed agreement between MSU Libraries and vendors)
  • this is done by linking the resource record to a license record
• provide sharing options (Interlibrary Loan)
• additional important information for accessibility (forthcoming)

Typical ERM components:

• Resource record
• License record
• Vendor contact record
• Record coverage management (upload, update, remove, analysis)

On Sierra, ERM is done though their ERM module.
