ERM & CDI Weekly Update format

Each week the NZ Electronic Resources Manager creates a Word document on the Sharepoint site for ULMS.  In the Subcommitee > ERM > ERM & CDI Weekly Update Reports.  Locate the correct year and month and create the document.

Tips for formatting:

• Use the same format for the title of the document:
  • "ERM & CDI Weekly Update [MONTH & DAY]"
• The Heading of the document is similar:
  • "ERM & CDI Weeky Update week of [MONTH & DAY]"
• Each entry is Heading 2
• Use the Atkinson Hyperlegible for the font.  It helps with readers with vision issues.
  • "Atkinson Hyperlegible, named after the founder of the Braille Institute, has been developed specifically to increase legibility for readers with low vision, and to improve comprehension.
    Having a traditional grotesque sans-serif at its core, it departs from tradition to incorporate unambiguous, distinctive elements—and at times, unexpected forms—always with the goal of increasing character recognition and ultimately improve reading."
• Just before the document is sent out at the end of the week, add the Table of Contents
  • Click just below the title of the document
  • Go to the Insert tab at the top of the document
  • Click on Table of Contents

Tips for Content:

Include updates to anything related to electronic resource content:

• Collections added or removed from the Network Zone (NZ)
• Updates to the NZ licenses
• Issues with linking for an e-collection
• Updates to CDI collections (CZUTL reports)
• Follow Content-L and Alma-L and report issues that may affect any of the CSU libraries
• Follow EZPROXY-L and report updates to stanza or issues with the proxy
• Add Tech Service Open Forum and ERM Open Forum links to the recording
• Occasionally remind ERM about how to report issues with Ex Libris, ProQuest (SalesForce) and other vendors.
  • There are ULMS Guide pages that have vendor contacts and helpful guides on how to report an issue with electronic resources
• Include announcements of upcoming open forums, webinars, and meetings that are a part of the lifecycle of electronic resources, which can include acquisitions processes or collection development
