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.
