Libraries are beginning to purchase Electronic Resource Management systems to help them track the increasingly large percentage of their budgets
allocated to electronic resources. However, ERM systems are not always purchased from the vendor supplying the library’s ILS. As a result, batch
processes or tedious manual entry is necessary to make ILS-based acquisitions data available to ERM users. This program will introduce an initiative,
called CORE, that has as its goal creation of a standard protocol for identifying and transferring acquisitions data elements from ILS to ERM.

Despite the increasing library investment in eBooks, no single definition adequately describes the wide variety of eBooks available. Koppel will offer different approaches to define eBooks and their implications for library collections and services. Building on this, Stewart-Marshall will suggest that traditional conceptual models for library materials management may be inadequate in the context of eBooks.
