A Viewpoint on Locally-Developed vs. Commercially Available Journal Management Solutions Y1 - 2004/// N2 - This article discusses the growing need for tools or systems that will provide more effective management of and improved user access for journal collections, especially for e-journals. The author briefly describes initial efforts at the local library level to develop management systems and mentions the rise of vendor-supplied solutions, which have become very popular. In spite of the current popularity of vendor-based solutions, the author argues that there is still a niche for locally developed journal management systems. One such system, developed at the author's home institution, Taylor University, is featured as a case study. AV - public KW - electronic resource management systems ; ERMS ER -
