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.
