[Eril-l] Using SharePoint for an ERM

[Beverly Dowdy]

HI - Duke IT provided Sharepoint for our entire campus a few years ago.  The library used it for several years to post and share documents.  The consensus is that it is rather clunky, and there are some things it won't do that other software does.

Duke Libraries now chooses to use a variety of software other than Sharepoint.  Trello is used to track e-resource workflows, and Basecamp is used for teamwork and their documents, or files are posted on Box, or Google Docs.

Terri,

We have just implemented SharePoint in our library as a replacement for our intranet.  While have not considered it for the ERMS yet, we are developing its use for a couple of ERM workflows that our current ERMS doesn't do well:

1)      usage statistics repository

2)      trial, quote, purchase, cancellation request forms


That said, starting out just on these few has spurred my thinking about the greater possibilities SharePoint might offer.  I'd be interested to be involved in further conversations that come from this thread.

Thanks for the good question,
Angie

Hi There,
We are considering using SharePoint to create an ERM. If you have already done this, would you be willing to share your thoughts, workflows, setup info, and answer a few questions?  We won't have full access to SharePoint until the spring but we're hoping to set up a test ERM to get our feet wet.  Any information would be appreciated.

You may contact me off list at Terri.Winchcombe at smu.ca<mailto:Terri.Winchcombe at smu.ca>.
Thanks so much!
Terri
