Title	Implementing an Electronic Resource Management System: Brigham Young University's Experience
BYU Creator	Howland, Jared L. Wright, Thomas C.
Keywords	ERM; Electronic Resource; Libraries; Implementation; Strategies; Consortia
Description/Abstract	We discuss the electronic resource management (ERM) implementation process at Brigham Young University (BYU) and its generalized implications for other institutions. A chronological description of decision-making and steps in the implementation process with corresponding discoveries and benefits is outlined. We conclude that implementing an ERM takes a lot of planning, forethought and effort but implementation has been very beneficial in helping BYU manage its electronic resource collections. The literature has described various ERM systems, difficulties in handling electronic resources and the ERMI standard but relatively little has been written about the practical side of implementing an ERM. The account of an ERM implementation should be helpful to libraries considering implementing an ERM system of their own.
