While many commercial ERMS seems to be
the choice of bigger libraries with higher rate of
procurement and consumption of e-resources the
choice of small libraries still linger around the cost
effective open access ERM models and custom made
spreadsheet and linked lists. The effective ERMS
for any library depend on the available resources
they have. Since many ERM solutions provide
custom-made knowledge-base to work with it is
eminent that the future ERMS will concentrate on
choice-based solutions streamlined and cut out for
individual libraries. This will be highly recommended
for libraries which form part of consortiums where
individual procurements are while their bulk of
resources are channeled through the consortium. In
the end the librarians look forward to ERMS which
are cost effective and at the same time save lot
of their time and easy to manage.
