If you currently work with or have worked with, or are a user of electronic resources, your participation in a survey would be greatly appreciated.

Since 2004 when  Electronic Resources Management Systems (ERM Systems) were first released, ERM Systems have addressed the libraries' need to manage and store data about resources, provider contacts, licensing details and usage data, but they've not addressed the libraries' need to manage and store the multitude of data needed to manage electronic resources.  As a result, libraries began to store electronic resources administrative data in a multitude of places that are not often accessible or quickly accessible to those who need the data.

This survey is intended to document where libraries store administrative data used to manage electronic resources.  In addition, responses are sought to assess attitudes toward storing electronic resources administrative data in ERM Systems. 

The survey consists of 19 questions and will take approximately 10  minutes to complete.  Please know your responses are completely anonymous.  Preliminary results will be presented at NASIG 2012, while final results will be published in the NASIG Proceedings, an annual volume of The Serials Librarian. 

The survey can be accessed at:  http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/EadminDataStorage

The survey will remain open until June 20, 2012.

Please feel free to pass on this survey to colleagues.

Thank you for your time.
