ERMes Receives Coutts Award for Innovation in Electronic Resources Management

William and I are extremely honored and excited to share the news that ERMes has received the 2010 Coutts Award for Innovation in Electronic Resource Management!

Determined by the Collection Management and Development Section (CMDS) of the Association for Library Collections & Technical Services (ALCTS), this award “recognizes significant and innovative contributions to electronic collections management and development practice.”  Here’s the official press release.

We will invest the award funds right back into ERMes with me continuing to improve user documentation and the interface while William plans to seek the programming expertise/knowledge necessary to enhance functionality.

Though I believe passionately in librarians’ ability to change the world of e-resource management, ERMes would never have grown to be a little ERM that could without librarians’ willingness to use it, enhance it, and tell us your ERM dreams.

So thank you ERMes users, we are so grateful for all 35 of you!
