The Tri-College Consortium (Bryn Mawr, Haverford and Swarthmore Colleges) have worked together  on evaluation and purchasing of e?resources for several years. We have worked with a collection of home-grown systems, an ERM development project with another vendor and, as of May 2008, with Verde. I will talk about  what we have learned so far about using the trials process in Verde including what things work well, and what things not so much, in trialing a group of resources with a staff dispersed at three geographic locations. </mods:abstract><mods:classification authority="lcc">Verde</mods:classification><mods:originInfo><mods:dateIssued encoding="iso8601">2009-05-07</mods:dateIssued></mods:originInfo><mods:genre>Conference or Workshop Item</mods:genre></mods:mods>
