Chapter 1 of Library Technology Reports (vol. 50, no. 3) “Electronic Resource Management Systems: A Workflow Approach” covers background and provides an overview on electronic resource management, including the DLF-ERMI report, a definition of ERMS, and the methodology employed in writing this report. Electronic resources management is both different and more difficult than print materials management. New software such as ERMS has been developed to help with this complex management process, but this software is only helpful if the process of resource management is rethought from a workflow perspective.
