Re: ERM for journal management Morris, Monique C @ LSC 08 Jul 2009 17:48 UTC
We just found out that we are charged for each individual title that is in the Serials Solution A-Z list. So if Newsweek is in ten databases then you are charged as if they were 10 different titles. We are looking at paring down our titles and/or databases by using the "Overlap Analysis Report" that provides numbers but not titles duplicated. Good luck. ------------------------ Monique Morris/Acquisitions Coordinator Samuel Read Hall Library Lyndon State College 1001 College Rd. P.O.

They added our databases and free online collections for us. Now I am working on adding our different online journals and our print holdings to it, as well. Once it is all set up I hope it will make it a 1-stop access for all of our journal subscriptions. Presently I am collecting separate statistics from LinkOut, EbscoHost, and HighWire Press, but do not have the time to collect them from our individual online titles.

We are still in the process of entering data for our databases and journal collections. We have not done anything with individual journals as we are investigating how many we might be able to roll into packages.

Like other libraries, we are caught in the transition between print and online worlds which require completely different workflows and systems to manage them. I currently "make do" by using our ILS (Aleph) and ebsconet to manage subscriptions, invoicing, and running reports for statistics, journal reviews, and various projects. However, each has its limitations. I have created workarounds within each system, but I'm hoping some day I won't have to. (Wishful thinking?) How are other libraries managing print and online journals? Multiple spreadsheets? ILS? Access? ERMS? Thank you for your time.
