Electronic resources management is a key issue for all libraries 
today, no matter how large or small.  This program will provide 
the librarians' perspective on the process of implementing a 
commercial electronic resources management system (ERMS), with 
particular focus on implementation strategies and challenges.

If electronic resources at your library are wildly out of 
control, or even simply consuming the majority of your time and 
effort, register for this pre-conference and find out whether an 
ERMS will help you tame your electronic tiger!
