See the related resources for earlier communication: [Koha] Electronic Resource Management for Koha https://lists.katipo.co.nz/pipermail/koha/2022-February/057447.html “Electronic resource management (ERM) is the practices and techniques used by librarians and library staff to track the selection, acquisition, licensing, access, maintenance, usage, evaluation, retention, and de-selection of a library’s electronic information resources. These resources include, but are not limited to, electronic journals, electronic books, streaming media, databases, datasets, CD-ROMs, and computer software.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_resource_management Before the emergence of eRM's, libraries would typically store details of electronic subscriptions in a manual way, for example, Excel spreadsheets, or in cupboards or filing cupboards as paper documents. An eRM allows libraries to store and organise these documents electronically. It also services as an index to electronic subscriptions. An eRM can track the whole lifecycle of an electronic resource, from acquisition, to negotiating an agreement with a publisher, storing the license information, activating title and package resources online to identifying usage patterns with resources. Libraries will vary in size from small, specialist library (with maybe a few topic specific resources) like a music library to large universities who will subscribe to tens of thousands of titles. It maybe that a library wants to record a few dozens resources each with their own subscription with a publisher, or track thousands of titles from aggregators like EBSCO.
