Barbara,

Do you also enter the orders and payment info into your ILS?  We are getting
ready to implement an ERM this summer, and I would be curious to know how
different libraries use an ERM.  We have Voyager, and we will be
implementing Serials Solution.

I am very curious about this.  Do all of you who use the process of
creating a separate bib record and supress it also use an ERM?  We use an
ERM to keep track of all of our electronic journal orders, payments,
licensing information, and contact information.  I find the ERM to be a
real life and time saver.

Thank you.
