The Challenges
• What do we have?
• Where do we get it?
• Who can use it? Where? How?
• Who bought out what company last week?
![Page 4: HERMES: An integrating approach to managing electronic resources](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032612/568133e8550346895d9ad93a/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The Challenges (contd)
• Multiple sources of data about what we have
• How do we get all that in one place?

Hopkins environment—not quite a consortium
Multiple LibrariesGeographically dispersedDistinct budgetsDistinct clientele
Scattered IP ranges

HERMES — Institution-wide system for sharing data
• Patrons: aids identify and access online resources
• Staff: facilitates stewarding– Select– Acquire– Support

Birth of HERMES
Public Display Project
Resource Tracking Project
![Page 8: HERMES: An integrating approach to managing electronic resources](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032612/568133e8550346895d9ad93a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Integrating the 2 projects
• Extensive conversations
• Staff from across libraries
• Led by Web Developer/Librarian
• Discovering what we wanted
![Page 9: HERMES: An integrating approach to managing electronic resources](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032612/568133e8550346895d9ad93a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Before we built it…
• Clarifying the workflow
• Defining relationships among data elements
![Page 10: HERMES: An integrating approach to managing electronic resources](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032612/568133e8550346895d9ad93a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Key Features—beyond the data
• Web based (view & edit)
• Role based access
• Integrates with other systems
![Page 11: HERMES: An integrating approach to managing electronic resources](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032612/568133e8550346895d9ad93a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Key Features—beyond the data (contd)
• No duplicate data entry
• Catalog is authority for bib data
• Ability to migrate data and grow system

What’s new?
• Auto load from catalog
• New roles
EXAMPLE– Publisher – Modern Language Association
– Provider – SilverPlatter
– Vendor – PALINET

HERMES — current state
• Coding complete
• Successfully extracted catalog data
• First round of testing complete
• Database moved from development to production server (testing again)
• Reviewing subject classification procedures

OK…So What?
Beyond ‘How I Did it Good’
![Page 15: HERMES: An integrating approach to managing electronic resources](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032612/568133e8550346895d9ad93a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Q #1: What is the librarians’ role in product development
• Identifying and articulating needs
• Advocating for standards
• Efficient and effective sharing of projects in development– e.g., Web Hub project
![Page 16: HERMES: An integrating approach to managing electronic resources](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032612/568133e8550346895d9ad93a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Q #2: What kinds of management systems do we want?
• Buy the whole thing
• Select by modules
![Page 17: HERMES: An integrating approach to managing electronic resources](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032612/568133e8550346895d9ad93a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
In other words…
• Integrated Systems
• Integrating Systems
![Page 18: HERMES: An integrating approach to managing electronic resources](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032612/568133e8550346895d9ad93a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
ILS – Are they past their prime?
• Overly complex
• Not standards based
• Tie librarians to a single system with modules of varying quality
• Migration nightmares
![Page 19: HERMES: An integrating approach to managing electronic resources](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032612/568133e8550346895d9ad93a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Integrating Systems
• More choices—cafeteria style choosing
• Easier migration of data
• More flexible integration with a variety of data sources
• Better bang for our bucks

Stand alone systems?
• SFX
• E-resource management system
• Next?
