Electronic Resource Management is a new frontier for the library world. As academic and other resource-oriented libraries transition their collection spending from predominantly printed material to electronic journals and online databases, a number of major challenges have arisen. Today's ILS provide deep solutions for handling printed material, but have limited support to assist library staff to handle the requirements for managing electronic resources. As the move from paper to electronic journals and serials accelerates, so does the need for a powerful ERM solution.

Dynix has much of the infrastructure in place today to support the future introduction of a powerful Electronic Resource Management module. While leveraging much of the work that has been done before, Dynix is going beyond ERM solutions available today. The future Dynix ERM solution will provide a powerful environment for completely managing all electronic resourcesfor a single library or for a consortium.
