  • 8. As an illustration of the early dominance in installations of the Innovative ERM, in mid-2005, one of the authors attempted to find a library in Canada with an ERMS that had not implemented this system. There were no responders who indicated otherwise (though it was possible that some non-Innovative ERMS sites did not respond to the author’s listserv messages).
