Posting for NISO
NISO E-Resource Management Forum to be Held September 24-25:
Registration Now Open
Highlighting the issues of implementers, NISO is hosting with
the Bibliographic Center for Research (BCR) <http://www.bcr.org/> a two-day
forum on electronic resource management. Presentations designed to answer
pressing questions about the impact of ERMs on internal management and
workflow will come from all major sectors of the NISO community.
NISO¹s E-Resource Management Forum: The What, Why, and How for Managing
E-Resources <http://www.niso.org/news/events_workshops/erm07/> will take
place September 24-25, 2007 at The Magnolia Hotel in Denver, Colorado. Early
bird registration
<http://www.niso.org/news/events_workshops/erm07/index.html#registration>
is now open.
The how-to character of the Forum will provide practical guidance both to
librarians currently implementing electronic resources management systems
and those weighing ERM options. Subscription agents, ILS vendors, and
publishers will also have a rare opportunity to integrate their perspectives
and questions into sessions that examine ERM selection and operation.
Beginning with discussions of the benefits and uses of ERMs, as well as
selection criteria, the sessions move to project-specific implementation,
including workflow/staffing, usage, reports, and case studies.
Topics include:
* The role of ERM systems in helping users to locate and access materials
* How to choose an ERM and what information to include in your system
* Interoperability with ILS acquisition systems
* Different aspects of ERM use, including additional tools to plug into
ERMs
* Formats for the exchange of serials subscription information
* Approaches to licensing in an ERM environment
* Data gathering techniques, including feeds and SUSHI
* Workflow from a management perspective
* Case studies: how ERMs can help maximize the user experience and how
they improve work from the back-end
