Dear Colleagues,

The DLF Electronic Resource Management Initiative (ERMI) Phase 2 Steering Group has been investigating interoperability between integrated library system acquisition modules and electronic resource management systems for the last 18 months. In January 2007 the ERMI2 subcommittee charged with this work released a draft report for comment.

The subcommittee is now pleased to make available the final report of this investigation, available from <http://www.diglib.org/forums/ERMI_Interop_Report_20080108.pdf>. The release will also be announced this week at the 2008 ALA Midwinter Meeting in Philadelphia.

DLF would like to thank the subcommittee members for their efforts: Norm Medeiros (chair), Haverford College; Adam Chandler, Cornell University; Linda Miller, Library of Congress; Angela Riggio, University of California Los Angeles.

Regards,

Barrie Howard
