Maintaining Resources in ERM
ERM resources are databases containing titles. Titles are sometimes called e-journals, electronic serials, etc. For example, EconLit (a resource or "database") can be provided to a library by EBSCOHost (a resource provider). EconLit might contain the titles Journal of International Business Studies and Problems and Perspectives in Management.
Your library receives files containing coverage data for titles from its resource providers. You load these coverage files into your system's coverage table, often automatically and simultaneously creating and updating records (such as bibliographic and holdings records). For an overview of ERM and the record types it uses, see Managing Electronic Resources with ERM.
For a complete description of resources, coverage data, the coverage table, and the procedures for loading and editing coverage data into your library's coverage table, see the section titled:
