NISO's first webinar for 2011, to be held on January 12 from 1:00 to 2:30
p.m. (Eastern), will feature "The Three S's of Electronic Resource
Management: Systems, Standards and Subscriptions."

ABOUT THE WEBINAR

Electronic Resource Management (ERM) encompasses a variety of practices and
services that impact library staff and patrons. In this session, three
panelists from the system vendor, subscription agent, and academic library
communities converge to discuss benefits and challenges of "three S's"

This high-level overview is ideal for libraries that might be considering
ERM solutions and existing ERM libraries that would benefit with an update
on current developments.
