Break-out Session In this break-out session, librarians, publishers, and vendors discuss together their ERM priorities.
Break-Out Questions • What are the most important aspects of interoperability / the most pressing standards in need of development? • What functions are we still missing in an ERM? Should these be included in an ERM or elsewhere?
Break-out Questions • What problems does your library need to resolve in your ERM practices? If you’ve implemented an ERM, have those problems been addressed? • Have we allowed ourselves to reach a state of crisis and what steps do we need to take immediately to remedy the situation?
Question 1 - Group 1 Responses • Between acquisitions client & ERM -- regardless of provider -- PO, invoice, status, payment, cost, etc. • Ability of link resolvers and ERMS to have communication between them (regardless of provider) • Data that could get from subscription agents that would have a lot of value--in some sort of standard way to populate system with that data set. Format, license terms, validation of access.
Question 1 - Group 2 Responses • Same as group 1 • Wish list: • Generate automated messages to give to publishers (e.g., when you change IPs) • Automated way for publishers to communicate title ownership (e.g., when a title is given up by one and taken over by other) • Way to communicate system down-time -- ERM acts accordingly
Question 2 - Group 1 Responses • Interoperability encouraged with tiered cost system • Interface with campus & ILS financial systems • Calculate % inflation rate for forecasting • Retrospective cost data -- perhaps development of index so libraries can do budgeting • Aside: what is the inflation rate of ERMS? :) • Common licensing terms across customers (that the licensing agents would use)
Question 2 - Group 1 (cont.) • Reporting flexibility with ability to do calculations with that information • Usage statistics reporting • Which systems do A-Z lists, support web services, etc. • Ability for ERMS to communicate with campus systems (e.g., Banner) -- is that desirable? • Ways to export (standarized) information to these kinds of systems
Question 2 - Group 2 Responses • True consortial support, specifically ways to share info that reflects granularity of view & access information. Related: issue of confidentiality of licenses. • UKSG’s report on problem of knowledge-based maintenance. Need for vendors to communicate holdings, and libraries’ need to push for that info. • Problem of licensing overload. Perhaps helped by emerging licensing standards--and want to see more support for those. • Interoperability • Is our worst enemy us??
SERU • Shared E-Resource Understanding • Draft Best Practice (not a standard, not a license) • www.niso.org/committees/SERU • Visit the registry online!
Question 3 - Group Response • How to develop the ownership of the ERM & its data, and how to identify the benefits of ERMS to staff? • Central Knowledge Base -- get away from KBs for various products, and have one that is shared (?)… (different vendors) • Communicating license terms to staff/public • Sharing outage info. • Share w/ staff & patrons where resource is in procurement cycle/lifecycle of resource, and what next steps are (what still needs to happen)
Question 4 - Group Response • The Crisis is all around us! • No clear-cut, best ERM on market • Remarkably few e-resource staff (and there are so many dedicated to print) • Serials agents struggling to find out their role in this (Swets trying to take a lead by providing SPS reports)
