Because the topical area covered by Resource Management is so large, work is divided into separate SIGs. There are three main SIGs that are currently active:
Acquisitions SIG
The Acquisitions Subgroup is charged with working with developers to develop, refine, and review the acquisitions functionality and user experience. Members, generally acquisitions specialists, commit to regular meeting attendance, and to work on projects and tasks outside of meeting times that contribute to the requirements definitions, refinement, user experience improvements and testing. Members are expected to stay current with pertinent topics in order to keep discussions moving forward. Meeting notes are available on the wiki.

ERM SIG
The ERM Group is charged with working with developers to develop, refine, and review functionality needed to support the management of library electronic resources. This includes Agreements, Licenses, and eResources. Members, generally e-resource management specialists, commit to regular meeting attendance, and to work on projects and tasks outside of meeting times that contribute to the requirements definitions, refinement, user experience improvements and testing. There will also be regular meeting time devoted to implementation topics raised by the members. Members are expected to stay current with pertinent topics in order to keep discussions moving forward. Meeting notes are available on the wiki.

Role of the Resource Management SIG
The RM SIG will meet on a regular basis to further refine and discuss topics around acquiring and managing materials, FOLIO project level communications and considerations, and interactions of RM apps with other apps across FOLIO (e.g., data import). Work from the subgroups will be shared with the whole SIG, and may be further developed. For example, topics may be discussed in the subgroups that are specific pieces of functionality, whereas the fuller workflow will be discussed with the full RM SIG. Members should have knowledge in the resource management domain and commit to providing feedback and contributing to discussion within the SIG meetings. There will also be regular meeting time devoted to implementation topics raised by the members. There will be opportunities to engage in special subgroups, perform user acceptance and regression testing, and participate in the general working of the SIG.
