Charge

The task force will decide on the policies, best practices, critical functions needed for day-1 go-live for electronic resources in Alma.  This will include ECC/Opt-in and locally subscribed e-collections and e-books.

Initial Goals

  • Create Post-Migration check lists for e-resources
  • Create Policies, Procedures and Best Practices for e-resources
  • Make recommendations for migrating e-books/e-book packages/streaming audio/video

2017 Objectives

  • Known ERM Issues will be tracked and updated.  These are known issues for the electronic resources, mainly in the NZ, that have been reported to ExL.
  • How-to list for pre-"Go-Live".  Use Ex Libris' list of tasks users should know how to do before going live and adapt for ERM/ACQ Models.
  • P2E recommendations for ERM-specific items.  Make recommendations for electronic resources available in both the ILS and link resolver application.
  • Clarify recommendations for e-books.  Provide recommendations for the electronic book process for PDA/DDA, single-title orders and e-book collections, which includes recommendations for P2E.
  • Work with Catalog Task Force for procedures for cataloging individual e-books and e-journals, single subscription titles.  
  • Clarify processes and procedures for Model 1 & 3 ERM/ACQ handoff.  Document recommendations for workflow and processes for Model 1 and 3 electronic resources and acquisitions.  Organize the policies and procedures.  
  • Create chart for electronic resource management and acquisitions to clarify workflow of certain tasks involved in the ERM/ACQ Models.
  • Post-Migration Task and Check lists update and prioritize the tasks on the list.  Items will be prioritized as "essential," "recommend" or "optional." 
  • SDLC/CO processes and procedures for ECC/Opt-in e-collections.  Work with SDLC to create processes about Model 2 and 3 and integrating current SDLC procedures into Alma, including renewals. Possible replacement for Coded Memos.  
  • Create Slack channel for Electronic Resources (#electronic_resources) for questions or comments about ERM process and procedures.  Promote the use of Slack channel for use by libraries to share local processes for electronic collections, e-journals and e-books.
  • Create vendors records for the NZ ECC and Opt-in e-collections. 

Scope

The ERM Task Force will investigate and create policies and best practices for the three models of ERM/Acquisitions for the IZ and NZ.  ERM Task Force will also look at the e-books packages in the CZ, the OCLC records for e-books, and vendor records and offer recommendations for the libraries.  The Task Force will also investigate different documentation from current Alma customers to create a list of best practices for activating new e-resources. The Task Force will also investigate adding database-only records in the IZ and NZ.
