The idea of developing electronic resource management systems emerged from research by Tim Jewell in 2001-2002. In 2002, the Digital Library Federation and NISO began developing standards for ERM data, which were published in 2004 as the Electronic Resource Management report. Since the publication of the report, several vendors of integrated library systems have released ERM products.

Digital Library Federation and NISO began work in May 2002 to develop standards for
ERM data. These standards were published in the 2004 as Electronic Resource
Management: Report of the DLF ERM Initiative. Since the publication of the report,
several vendors of integrated library systems have released ERM products.

4. MORE COMPLEX
E-RESOURCE
MANAGEMENT TOOLS
Example:
Friend of a friend concept
(metadata about people)

5. Vendors help in
providing
E-RESOURCE
MANAGEMENT
TOOLS

6. Notice:
Most of vendors
claim their system is
“the only library
automation vendor
to provide a
complete solution
for managing the
full spectrum of
library materials
and processes”

7. Librarians and organizations help in providing
E-RESOURCE MANAGEMENT TOOLS
Our job over the next five to ten years is to provide a
way to access these valuable resources in an intuitive,
easy to use one-stop shop, and not to be afraid of running
continual beta test where new services and functions can
be added when necessary. To do this we need flexible,
interoperable resource-discovery systems based on open
source software. In addition, we must keep evaluating
users' needs and reach out by adapting our systems to fit
their requirements, rather than expecting them to come to
us; indeed our very future depends on it.
The TERMS workshop on 19 March 2014 in Austin, Texas. We’re looking forward to
meeting everyone and creating workflows with you based on the TERMS sections.

8. No matter what we are talking about, basics of e-resources managing are:
•Licensing for all kinds of electronic resources
(individual journals, journal packages, databases, e-books, etc.)
•Using & troubleshooting access the above
•Obtaining, compiling, and analyzing usage data

9. While we are talking about the basics of e-resources,
some others have their vision for the future:

10. The service oriented architecture for sharing and managing resources will extend the high
utilization of handling more services with better management. Example: Kuali

11. The notion of e-resource sharing. One of the objectives of resource sharing is to
increase some measure of the overall work done by the collection of resources.
