Description:

Although electronic resources have been providing content in libraries for decades, they have been notoriously hard to manage effectively. Today, ERMS (Electronic Resource Management Systems) provides an integrated tool to help libraries deal with digital resources throughout their life cycle: from trial and acquisition, to tracking, to assessment. This two-hour online class is a basic introduction to ERMS, its capabilities and its limitations.
