The session will start with a data and literature review of the current state of e-resource management. Results of recent library projects examining workflows in the interest of efficiency and better services for patrons will be shared by presenters with deep experience with implementation of e-resource management systems. Finally, through examining examples of existing workflows and their value streams, the group will determine if specific workflow steps are adding value for patrons or just taking time.

12. Findings
Efficiencies through:
Data Management Services
Consolidated Data
Usage Data and CPU aggregation
More work done in a single system, streamlined workflows and workflow tools
Alerts
Integration with discovery services
Integration with discovery solutions
Creation of a historical record
Outstanding inefficiencies:
Need to consolidate information into a single report for communication
Manual intervention required for information gathering, decision-making and
routing
Need to manage information for data gathering
*ERMS aids the process but does not manage it*
13. The Value-Add of ERM
ERM aids the process but does not manage it
Next-generation library platforms vary in approaches to this challenge
Intota approach
Knowledgebase eases the pain of gathering data
Collection Analysis eases the reporting pain
Interoperability eases pain of timely data
Unified intelligent workflows ease the management pain
Intota provides evidence-based
customized workflows.
Intota manages the process!
