October 2004, ERM Product Review (ongoing)

In October 2004, the CUL Dean's Policy Group charged the CUL Electronic Resources Team with undertaking an information-gathering project on Electronic Resource Management systems (e.g. Endeavor Meridian). The group was charged with examining what is available, determining whether such systems would support our needs and interface with Voyager, and getting pricing details if available.

The CUL Electronic Resources Team will investigate products intended to provide the following:

- Management of electronic journals that are in aggregators, part of licensed publisher packages, individually licensed, or freely available (required)
- E-journal holdings with broad date range holdings information (required) or more detailed, issue-level holdings information (preferred)
- direct title-level access (required) with access via PONI (preferred)

After reviewing and evaluating existing products based on the above criteria, the EResources Team will provide recommendations for action based on an assessment of local needs.
