Licence management for electronic resources

Abstract

A quick-fire look at the ERM (Electronic Resource Management) module on Sierra, with an emphasis on the license records for our electronic databases and e-journals. I will be explaining the work I do that justifies the ‘Licensing’ part of my new job title, showing how the license information is displayed, how it can be accessed by staff and students, and what it all means. The permissions and restrictions around use of our e-resources are displayed in the Catalogue and can be easily accessed but most people are not aware of this.
