- License Mapping for ERM Systems: Existing Practices and Initiatives for Support
(source: Serials Review, vol. 34, n° 2, sur abonnement)
In the process of analyzing and/or mapping license agreements into their electronic resource management (ERM) systems or in developing services to support the license mapping process, library professionals were interviewed to provide a status report of license mapping in academic libraries. Areas discussed include existing practices, challenges, and support for and benefits of the mapping process. These conversations from the trenches should help professionals in the early stages of ERM implementation better conceptualize resource needs and effective practices for license mapping.

Does your library subscribe to a long list of electronic journals (aka ejournals)? Do you find it evermore difTicult to keep track of the ejournals for which your users have access? Do you need help in allocating the budgets involved with econtent? Does your library's staff feel overwhelmed by all the work related to managing and providing access to thousands of ejournals? If your library faces these questions, then it might be time to consider acquiring an electronic resource management system (ERMS).
