Cristina Blanca-SanchoSerials Solutions Strategic Marketing Manager
8th European meeting of the ICOLC, Rome
Why Serials Solutions?
Serials Solutions already works with a majority of library consortia, creating an easier path to data sharing among members
Overview of Consortia ERMS Vision
• In the Serials Solutions “Software as a Service (SaaS) model, true consortia management is possible:
– All data resides in the same knowledge base, so data about resources can be easily shared
– User accounts all reside in the same application, using group permissions to determine access and control
– Patron facing applications are tied directly to data at the individual library level, giving each library control over the user interface
Consortia Data Model
All resources managed from single interface
Example consortia license using ERMS 1.0

Future Goals
• Consortia resources maintained at consortia level rather than by each library
• Member libraries will automatically have resources available with full license details without re-keying data
• Individual libraries can customize resources to fit local needs (proxies, subjects, coverage dates, etc.)
• Consortia communication needs are met using group alerts and notes

•Licenses and contacts data inheritance
