Electronic resources management is a key issue for all libraries today,
no matter how large or small.  This program will provide the
librarians' perspective on the process of implementing a commercial
electronic resources management system (ERMS), with particular focus on
implementation strategies and challenges.

If electronic resources at your library are wildly out of control, or
even simply consuming the majority of your time and effort, register for
this pre-conference and find out whether an ERMS will help you tame your
electronic tiger!
