Survey on ERMs and Impact on Technical Services

[Deberah England <deberah.england@wright.edu>]

Posted on behalf of Susan Banoun.

Hello all,

In preparation for a program at the 25th Annual NASIG (North 
American Serials Interest Group) Conference in June, we are 
conducting a short survey of 15 questions to compare experiences 
on the impact of ERMs on the organization, staff, and management 
of work.

Electronic Resource Management systems (ERMs) are being bought, 
installed and implemented at many institutions. How is the 
implementation work and use of the ERMs absorbed into workflow by 
staff?  Do libraries manage with existing, different, more, or 
less staff?  Does the training provided, staffing level and 
organization of Technical Services departments impact the success 
of ERMS implementation?

We would very much appreciate your input!  Please take a few 
minutes to answer this short survey, which will help further 
discussion.

The survey is available at -- 
<http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/BB292WY> and *will be available 
through Friday, May 14, 2010.*

Please forward to any colleagues who might be willing to complete 
the survey.

If you have any questions or additional comments that do not fit 
within survey questions, please feel free to contact me.

Thank you,
