EOS International Offers Electronic Resource Management Module

It provides a single solution to control how electronic resources are found by patrons and how the information is presented through the web OPAC. The following features are available:

• Filtered list control
• View all ERM records or display records according to status
• Force or passively allow the display of license agreements as patrons use a resource
• Retrieve records by name, title, statement, or vendor
• Edit, delete, or view the bibliographic record from the List Screen
• Edit the web subscription, edit the order, report problems with a subscription, email stakeholders, or renew a resource
• Enable or disable authorization to add, delete, and edit ERM records on a by-user basis
• Stores all record-specific information for resources in the ERM record itself, including: license agreement, terms of use, and security concerns associated with a resource

Professional collaboration between the knowledge manager and stakeholders is an additional feature of EOS ERM that helps to streamline the approval phase of e-resources. ERM allows specific phases to be completed before a new phase can begin, and staff members are able to solicit responses directly from other stakeholder groups. Stakeholders can manage and submit responses through EOS.Web OPAC, and the library staff receives stakeholder responses by email.
