Challenges Remain
• Data required to manage e-resources is complex
• Locating the data is difficult
• The amount of information is immense making input a
challenge (ERMI defined over 300 fields)
• Keeping that information up-to-date is also a challenge
Standards and other initiatives to
solve remaining problems
•

•
