NISO will be holding an in-person forum on E-Resource Management: From Start
to Finish (and Back Again) on October 7, 2010, in Chicago, IL. The "start to
finish and back again" of this event will take attendees through the various
stages of working with an active ERM in your library:

. The Start: The basics of a successful ERM implementation/use

. The Finish: At a higher-level, the more advanced and downstream uses made
capable by ERMs (e.g., decision making)

. Back Again: Those things that still aren't in place, that we will need to
implement anew in order to answer outstanding needs.

This event will benefit anyone who is interested in using an ERM for
managing content and for interpreting data and making decisions based on
that data. You will also learn about what to expect in the near future for
ERMs.

NISO educational forums are routinely praised for their excellent selection
of speakers representing a diversity of viewpoints across the scholarly
information community and the small size which provides opportunities to
network with speakers and other attendees.
