1. UC’s Electronic Resources Management System Users Council, May 11, 2007 Heather Christenson

2. The Problem CDL centrally licenses electronic resources, no way for campuses to see ERM data No way for anyone to see across campuses and do comparisons Electronic resources becoming more prominent in general, hard for any of us to manage

3. The Vision Collection development and e-resource management will be integrated across UC using a common set of data Campuses will have the ability to view each other's local resources There will also be "authority" in the data – reducing the problems with version control, outdated lists, etc.

4. The ERMS will be A technical services staff tool A shared system An authoritative database for licensing terms and conditions

5. In general, the ERMS will not be An end-user discovery tool An acquisitions system Used for print resources

6. A Brief History October 2003: CDL “Electronic Resource Management Assessment” report April 2004: Two-day UC-wide discussion with stakeholders July 2004: RFP responses August 2005: Ex Libris Verde 1.0 January 2007: Verde 2.0 test installation

7. Who is working on this right now? CDL technical & licensing groups SOPAG-appointed implementation team (member from each campus) Functional experts from some campuses (UCB, UCD, UCLA, UCSC, UCSD)

8. CDL in action Technical aspects of installation and configuration Initial population of data Workflows and ongoing use

9. Implementation team in action Overall principles to guide decision- making Best practices & guidelines Checklist for campus readiness

10. Testing… Verde 2.0 was successfully installed at CDL Testing: Access was given to test participants, SOPAG implementation team and some CDL staff Test report to SOPAG, May 30th

11. Some advantages of Verde Offers consortium functionality Standards-based Operates with our link resolver, SFX

12. Challenges Very complex Workflow changes to adapt to an ERMS Still a young, evolving product
