One of the foremost aims of EROMM is to help avoid duplication of effort. To do this we try to collect as much information on reformatted printed works as possible. It is equally important to learn about planned reformatting because a lot of effort is invested during the preparatory stages of a project. No project should loose its investment by discovering during the course of work that their items have been treated elsewhere in the meantime. In many cases, however, it is impossible to supply EROMM with records describing individual items before actually digitising or microfilming them.

To get around this EROMM is offering the possibility to record your project at an early stage. By giving information on the project and perhaps by naming authors and titles of the most important works, that will be reformatted, your ongoing project will become retrievable on the EROMM database. Contact can be established between projects and others interested by using hyperlinks in the record.

To learn, what kind of surrogates are accepted by the EROMM community read more on standards for surrogates.

When recording your project,

• Please give a general idea and overview of planned or ongoing activity.
• What kind of works are being reproduced?
• What is the technology of reproduction?
• How are the surrogates made accessible?
• Is there a time schedule for completing the programme or has it been completed?
• How can your organisation be contacted?
