In spring 2008, Galadriel gave her colleague, William Doering, this diagram depicting what she would want in a basic ERM.
William took the diagram, made enhancements, and ERMes was born; a simple but innovative ERM that significantly helps Galadriel organize and manage the e-resources at the University of Wisconsin – La Crosse.
In April 2009, Norma J Dowell from Iowa State University authored major enhancements to the design and functionality of the ERM.
Anyone is welcome to use ERMes to suit your own needs. You are also welcome to change ERMes in any way to suit your local needs. We only ask that you don’t re-distribute ERMes or ERMs based on ERMes to others. If you do make changes to ERMes, you should keep track of those changes so that you can recreate those changes in future releases of ERMes.
