The successful development and implementation of an electronic resources management (ERM) system depends on an undertaking that includes many key factors. Some of these key factors include determining user groups and their needs, evaluating implementation and technical issues, testing the system, exploring how the system will be used, setting future goals for the system's use, and acknowledging other outside considerations that need to be addressed regarding the deployment of an ERM system. Within each of these factors lies critical decision making and goal evaluation. Learn about how Wayne State University applied these factors, underwent the steps toward this endeavor, and developed the ongoing evaluation of the selected ERM system.
