Electronic resource management

Electronic resource management (ERM) encompasses the practices, techniques, and software used by librarians and other information professionals to manage the electronic resources within their collections. Electronic resource management may include selecting, licensing, maintaining, evaluating, or removing electronic resources. Electronic resources include, but are not limited to, electronic journals, electronic books, streaming media, databases, datasets, CD-ROMs, and computer software. Libraries can purchase ERM software through commercial, third-party vendors, use online open-source software options, or create their own in-house ERM workflows.
