Electronic Resource Management (eRM) and Koha It is becoming increasingly clear that adding an integrated Electronic Resource Management (eRM) module in Koha has become a priority. Many academic libraries and some non academic institutions have a need to manage their electronic resources more effectively and an eRM provides this ability. Competing library systems - now often referred to as ‘Library Services Platforms’ - have eRM functionality built in as core modules alongside all of the other library system modules. For Koha to continue to grow in adoption and use across all library sectors, the addition of an integrated eRM is vital. With this in mind, PTFS Europe, ByWater Solutions and BibLibre are co-funding a focussed development project to build a fully integrated eRM module for Koha. The specification has been developed collaboratively by these three organisations and as well as sponsoring the development costs of the project, each organisation is committing resources to ensure that the module is able to be added to the community releases of Koha in line with the community’s quality and security assurance requirements. Though the first version will be highly functional, there will no doubt be further iterations of development of the eRM module that will follow and all three organisations will welcome the contributions of any members of the community that are interested in the ongoing enhancement of Koha eRM. Jonathan Druart has been commissioned as lead developer on the project supported by a team of people from the three partner organisations.
