Background on FERM
The Five College FOLIO Electronic Resources Management Working Group (FERM) is tasked with reaching and maintaining consensus on issues relating to the use of FOLIO as an electronic resource management system, as well as finding ways to support each other and other colleagues in the work of eResource management. The group will be concerned with the electronic resource life-cycle within FOLIO as well as the practice of eResource management as a whole.
FERM Scope
The work of this group will primarily center around the following FOLIO apps: Licenses, Agreements, eHoldings, eUsage, and Organizations. Additionally this group will work with the Acquisitions and Inventory working groups on cross-app functionality in FOLIO as well as the Five College Discovery and User Experience committees to ensure optimal user experience.
