Electronic Resource Management in Libraries
Ms. Dipti Prajapati [Subject: Lib. & Inf. Science] International Journal Vol. 4, Issue: 1, January: 2016 of Research in Humanities & Soc. Sciences [I.F. = 0.564] ISSN:(P) 2347-5404 ISSN:(O)2320 771X Electronic Resource Management in Libraries MS. DIPTI PRAJAPATI Librarian Amity Global Business School, Safal Pegasus 'A' Block , 6th floor, Anand Nagar Road , Near Prahlad Nagar Satellite Road, Ahmedabad Gujarat (India) Abstract: E-resources represent an increasingly important component of the collection-building activities of libraries. “Electronic resources” refer to those materials that require computer access, whether through a personal computer, mainframe, or handheld mobile device. They may either be accessed remotely via the Internet or locally. As libraries dramatically increased their numbers of licensed electronic resources in the 1990s, such as online journals and databases, they realized the need for a recordkeeping system that would help manage the details of acquiring and maintaining them. As the idea of locally designed and built electronic resource management systems became more accepted, academic institutions began to seek assistance outside their universities to build their own systems. The author advocates provide one-stop shopping for the full range of journal literature available and of interest to library patrons. Keywords: E-resources, E-resources management, Libraries 1. Introduction Electronic resource management (ERM) is the practices and software systems used by libraries to keep track of important information about electronic information resources, especially internet-based resources such as electronic journals, databases, and electronic books. The development of ERM became necessary in the early 2000s as it became clear that traditional library catalogs and integrated library systems were not designed to handle metadata for resources as mutable as many online products are. -
