The purpose of this paper was to discuss adoption of library management system, motivation and challenges in developing countries. It started with the introduction of the concept, it further discussed the trend in the adoption of library management system in the developing countries. The paper also highlighted the factors influencing the adoption of library management system in developing countries, it also discussed the motivating factors in adopting library management system to library services. The paper further pointed out the challenges in adopting LMS in developing countries, such as prolonged adverse economic conditions, limitations in budgetary provision, infrastructural and political challenges facing these countries as well as inadequate technical-know required for the deployment and usage of modern working tools and technologies involved within LMS. Based on these, the paper concluded and recommended that there should be adequate planning, preparation and consultations before embarking on the adoption of a software for LMS, regular training and retraining should be conducted for library personnel on the use of the software, institutional support and the reputation of the company that developed the software should also be considered among others.

“…Wang and Dawes (2012) note that describing and providing access to e-resources should be integrated with the description and metadata management of the next-generation ILS and that this shift to centrally managing the metadata may mean shifting the management workflow to the cataloging staff. Taking the premise that libraries have become accustomed to "shelf-ready" services for print books from their vendors, Ruschoff proposes that libraries encourage EBook vendors and content providers to work together to provide a "click-ready" service for EBooks.…”

This issue's ERM Ideas and Innovations Column is from Lila (Angie) Ohler, Head of Acquisitions at the University of Maryland College Park. Angie discusses the future potential of electronic resources management (ERM) organization, within the development of the next-generation integrated library systems (ILS), as a very promising strategy. This also presents enormous challenges to ERM librarians though, especially on how to determine standards and workflows. Angie's premise is to look beyond the way we might manage locally at our libraries or the ways we feel most comfortable to the larger landscape for more effective solutions. She discusses expanded approaches to ERM work when planning for these solutions. Ultimately, understanding historical pitfalls and pushing to develop prevailing system standards based on workflow best practices may lead to more effective solutions.

“…A few of the points reiterated consistently are: centralized management of both print and electronic resources, direct integration with discovery systems, built-in analytics, native knowledgebases, expanded workflows, and improved interfaces. 3 The literature also observes that these systems are cloud-based, which has significant impact on the maintenance and security of these systems, placing many of these responsibilities in the hands of the vendor.…”

Library Services Platforms (LSPs) offer academic libraries the ability to integrate the management of print and electronic resources in one centralized platform. This article will examine the role of electronic resources librarians (ERLs) in a large-scale, consortial LSP implementation relative to NASIG's Core Competencies for Electronic Resources Librarians. The speakers, Conor Cote and Kirsten Ostergaard, hail from Montana, where the Treasure State Academic Information and Library Services Consortium, comprised of seventeen academic libraries, is implementing Ex Libris's Alma LSP in conjunction with the Primo discovery layer. The aim of this presentation and article is to examine how the skills and competencies of an ERL can be leveraged for an effective and minimally disruptive LSP implementation.
