Thanks to everyone who presented at or attended our session at Midwinter in Boston! We had a great session about how librarians are using different software tools to meet e-resource-management needs. Here is the list of presenters and their affiliations and tools:
Christine Turner, University of Massachusetts-Amherst, CORAL
Jessica Brangiel, Swarthmore College, Trello
Elsa Anderson, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, Google Apps
Lenore England, University of Maryland-University College, Microsoft Visio and JIVE
Kelly Smith, Eastern Kentucky University, LibAnswers & LibChat
Check out the presentation slides for more information on how these tools replace or supplement (or are) ERM Systems, improving workflow management, allowing librarians to track resource-related administrative metadata, facilitating internal or external communication, and more. (You'll see both the individual presentations' files and an "all slides" file with everything in the order presented during the session.)
Chime in here or contact us directly with any questions. Watch the listservs around mid-April for a call to fill a 2-year staggered Interest Group cochair term to begin after ALA Annual in Orlando this year.
