Challenges and Potentials of Electronic Resource Management

Abstract

This chapter will focus on two ERM services, ExLibris’ SFX and III’s ERM. ExLibris’ SFX is an example of a link resolver, whereas III ERM is an example of an ERM system. The discussion of these ERM services will focus on key issues encountered during ERM implementation at Cal Poly Pomona. The main objective of this chapter is to make the readers aware of the challenges and potentials ERM services offer, distilled from the experiences gained at Cal Poly Pomona.
