In an effort to find an online-automated electronic resource management system that provides licensing, acquisitions, and statistical information easily, Columbia College of South Carolina journeyed into the world of open source and vender-based applications. During this journey, dead ends and roadblocks paved the way. To encompass all the identified requirements of the online-automated system, a new system needed to be designed.

The Rohrbach Library of Kutztown University manages its electronic resources using a disconnected array of resources including spreadsheets, paper files, email files, and a Google Docs account. Clearly, a more streamlined and unified approach would be beneficial. In this case, the authors investigate various Electronic Resource Management System (ERMS) options and whether they are a fit for the library. They then examine the decision to implement an open source option. Finally, the case describes the process of implementing and populating the open source ERMS, in addition to challenges experienced along the way.

Zusammenfassung: Vor dem Hintergrund eines zunehmenden Anteils von E-Medien fehlt Bibliotheken ein Instrument, um bilaterale, konsortiale und Allianzlizenzen zu verwalten. Der Aufsatz beschreibt das von der DFG teilgeförderte Projekt „Electronic Resource Management System“, welches zum Ziel hat, das bundesweit einsetzbare, mandantenfähige ERM-System LASeR zu entwickeln. In den bisher geförderten Arbeitspaketen wurde auf der Basis von Experteninterviews, Nutzerumfrage, Anbietergesprächen und der Evaluation bestehender Systeme ein Konzept erstellt, auf dessen Basis LASeR im Fall der Weiterförderung realisiert wird.
