Electronic Resource Management (ERM)

The document discusses the implementation and benefits of electronic resource management (ERM) at a library, highlighting that over 11,000 e-journal and database titles have been converted to the new format. Key advantages include centralized information access for customers, specialized data for library staff, and easier resource management for the e-resource team. Demonstrations of two systems, OPAC and Millennium, were conducted to showcase the new functionalities.
