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) 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. NISO's E-Resource Management Forum: The
What,
Why, and How for Managing E-Resources will take place
September
24-25, 2007 at The Magnolia Hotel in Denver, Colorado. Early
bird
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
