On December 18, 2003 the USMAI Council of Library Directors appointed the E-resources in catalogusmai (ERIC) Task Force to study feasible options for presenting electronic items in the catalog and drafting a white paper on the options. The CLD will decide on the options and next steps. This web page is designed to collect some of the work of the Task Force, related materials and make available drafts of the final whitepaper for comment.
