Electronic Resource Management (ERM) encompasses a variety of practices and services that impact library staff and patrons. In this session, three panelists from the system vendor, subscription agent and academic library communities converge to discuss benefits and challenges of “three S’s” integral to ERM: systems, standards and subscriptions. Specific topics include:
- Standards – Overview of current standards relevant to ERM and implementation challenges for stakeholders
- Systems – ERM system overview, library staff benefits and patron benefits
- Subscriptions – Evolving role of electronic resource subscription services and customer benefits.
This high-level overview is ideal for libraries that might be considering ERM solutions and existing ERM libraries that would benefit with an update on current developments.

- Institutional Identifier (I2)
Grace Agnew -- Associate University Librarian for Digital Library Systems at the Rutgers University Libraries and co-chair of the NISO I2 (Institutional Identifier) Working Group -- will speak about the institutional identifier, a NISO project to create a globally unique identifier and metadata sufficient to identify an institution involved in the digital information supply chain. Agnew will discuss the status of the work, including the draft metadata and scenarios of use and will solicit feedback on the work from members of the audience.
- A Rose by Any Other Name... But Could We Find It?
Regina Romano Reynolds, ISSN Coordinator, Library of Congress will discuss the new NISO E-journal Presentation and Representation Working Group. Inaccurate journal citations on journal websites and in journal aggregations cause problems for researchers and libraries alike. Unless such websites accurately and consistently list all the titles under which content was published, together with their related ISSN, user access to expensive content becomes a treasure hunt at best and an exercise in frustration at worst. NISO has created a working group charged with developing a Recommended Practice that will provide much-needed guidance on the presentation of e-journals particularly in the areas of title presentation, accurate use of the ISSN, and citation practices to publishers and platform providers. This presentation will provide some illustrations of the current situation and an overview of the NISO group's goals, potential strategies, and timeline.
- E-books and ISBNs
One of the constant principles of ISBN over the last 40 years has been that it identifies a unique product (e.g. an edition of a book). This has facilitated discovery and acquisitions and enabled e-commerce, distribution and aggregation of product information. There has, however, been inconsistent implementation of ISBN for e-books, creating some confusion and problems, especially for the library community. Brian Green, Executive Director of the International ISBN Agency, looks at the e-book supply chain, discusses the International ISBN Agency's recommendations for the assignment of ISBNs to e-books and compares the different positions of ISBN and ISSN with regard to digital publications.
