ELECTRONIC RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IS FLOW TO SYSTEM: IN PRESENT SCENARIO Mr. Yogendera Nath Pandey Guest Faculty, Department of Library and Information Science, Dr. R.M.L.Avadh University, Faizabad. ABSTRACT The new emerging technologies and to evolution of information explosion it is very difficult to manage information for LIS professionals. Due to development of new technologies and use of digital disruption in library are transforming to virtual library and library professionals are faced various problem in their profession. This paper discussed the electronic resource management and challenges in digital Era. KEY WORDS: Electronic resource management, Information, professionals, Digital, Library. INTRODUCTION: In the fast development of emerging technologies and increases technology pricing it is difficult to purchase information system in the present era and library professionals are facing newly task day to day. Due to rapidly development of technologies it is possible to digitize information in various way of communication such as graphics, different type of images, video clips etc. Due to electronic revolution, society has shifted to paper less society and to provide electronic environment where information are access in different format all over the world and information are stored in digital form. Tim Berners- Lee develop the WWW in 1990.The ensuing invention of the Mosaic browser in 1992 and since 1993 beginning of use over the world. Libraries are not escape this revolution, various libraries offered web-based services to users (Hartley, 2003). The expansion of electronic resource management it is necessary in the prior 2000s as clear that traditional libraries are shifted their resources in electronic form (Wikipedia, 2012). The concept of electronic resource management system origin in 2001-2002, given by Jewell at the University of Washington. The Digital Library Federation and National Information Standard Organization are started work in May 2002 to develop some standard for electronic resource management initiative. The main aim of this initiative was to create a platform for community with a set of standard so that promote the expansion of Electronic resource management system. Electronic resource management is a part of technical services to vital accountable for the critical evaluation, pricing, selection electronic resources, securing and maintenance of electronic resources. In the present era the librarian are faced challenges to selection and preservation of electronic resources due to development of electronic collection. In this situation, central authority role to play to acquisition of resources. Although there are many vendor are offered various package in the present business models. In the present scenario number of commercial and voluntary organization as well as some institutions develop their own system that share out different facets of electronic management. Due to development internet disruption technologies, number of vendor involve to provide complete solution on one window. Definition of Electronic Resource Management: Electronic resource is define as a resource which are access via any electronic devices that information refers to full text, collection of images or numerical etc and their management, information delivered on CD- ROM,DVD, on tape and so on. An electronic resource management system is a set of technologies program that manages the processing, stored and control of resources electronically. Wikipedia define as, “Electronic resource management (ERM) is practices and techniques used by librarians and library staff to track the selection, acquisition, licensing, access, maintenance, usage, evaluation, retention, and de- selection of library's electronic information resources.” Simply we define to electronic resource management is practices and set of technique to manage electronic information for potential accessible on a window and to get information 24 hours a day,7 day a week.

Need of Electronic Resources in Present Scenario: Internet disruption technologies have led to new electronic age of communication and information sharing over the world. It create a window where not only library users, faculties member, authors, publishers as well as every person of society to reads and access. In the present time various publishers has their own website freely provide to access electronic resources and also encourage readers to give valuable feedback on work. Now number of libraries has been spending substantial portion of their budget to subscribed electronic resources from various publisher and vendor according to their needs. It is clear cut that electronic resources has make it possible libraries to standardized their services in diversity of ways. First, electronic resources provide a platform with strong search and retrieval technique that any information needier access different kind of literature more adequately and efficiently in different format. Standard of Electronic Management System: Electronic resource management system is needed to sustain into an existing information centre as well as academia environment. The use of standard is vital role to play of succeed of libraries and institutional centre. Let us to investigate some important standard related to electronic management system. SOAP is one of the most important standard for application integration an XML based protocol that provide facilities to exchange of message between applications and also calling facilities from one application to another often hyper transfer protocol (HTTP ) or simple mail protocol (SMTP).SOAP running on different operating system like window, Linux to delivered information using Extensible Markup Language. It is a core metadata web standandard for intermix application create different kind of platforms. In present digital era a number of vendors provide appropriate interfaces for web services as well as ERM application. ONIX (Online Information Exchange) is other important electronic management standandard for exchange information between two or more communication system. It is based on XML standard metadata formats developed by EDItEUR for the main purpose within the book trade. That metadata standard is presently referred to as serials subscription, e- book( Onix for books ) as well as publications licenses( ONIX-PL) which design to solve the licenses problems under academic libraries and other others research and development institution which are usages electronic resources. Function of Electronic Resource Management System in Libraries: The basic function of electronic resource management system is as under: Ÿ

Resource Workflow Integration: Electronic resource management system helps the library staff to integrate, automatically library resources management and their records management and it's also manage the circulation section.

Strong Security Control: Electronic resource management system is provided strong security control in library , have not access any specific information without any permission and also provide security for users confidential.

Flexibility and Version Control: The electronic resource management system( ERMS) is allowed to library staff to add resources to the system and change the document name according to need or order of supreme authority

Compound Resource Management: Electronic resource management system is not only mange the different kind of document like text form, table
