| The European Register of Microform and Digital Masters (EROMM) is an international database created to record all printed material that is reproduced on microform or digital form to preserve its contents without limit in time. There are no limitations in type of publication (monographs, serials, journals, newspapers), language, date or provenance. Via the EROMM database, microforms and digital forms can be located and accessed: requests are forwarded on-line to the institution that owns the master copy of a microform, and hyperlinks point to the web location of a digital reproduction. EROMM informs microfilming and digitisation programmes in libraries whether selected books have previously been microfilmed or digitised elsewhere. | EROMM's mission is the coordination of digitizing or microfilming activities and easy access to existing service copies of surrogate media help libraries to avoid unnecessary duplication of effort. EROMM, the European Register of Microform and Digital Masters, aims to bring together all information on printed and hand-written items reformatted to surrogate media – digital or microform – in libraries throughout Europe and worldwide. |
| | For this purpose EROMM created the database EROMM Classic and more recently the EROMM Search service, which are both freely available to anyone. With it, EROMM is also supporting researchers and students, who want to identify the location of any item in surrogate form.. |
| CERL members are allowed free read-only access to the EROMM database - provided one institution in their country provides data to EROMM and is a member (as is the case for most CERL members). | |
| | |
| Institutions wishing to use the EROMM database may register as a user via the EROMM website. To ensure an automated log-on procedure, you must provide your IP domain or IP number. Libraries that wish to use EROMM's requesting facility, or obtain special advantages of pricing and delivery time will be required to pay a low annual fee. These libraries are expected to contribute their own records of reformatted items and be able to deliver user copies upon request. | |

| EROMM also hosts the [[http://www.eromm.org/camd/|Cellulose Acetate Microfilm Database (CAMD)]]: The ever more pressing problem of Cellulose Acetate as a film base has prompted EROMM to build a new tool, the Cellulose Acetate Microfilm Database or CAMD. It aims to help libraries and archives assess the danger presented by acetate in their microform holdings and to offer mutual support by sharing information. | EROMM also hosts the [[http://www.eromm.org/camd/|Cellulose Acetate Microfilm Database (CAMD)]]: The ever more pressing problem of Cellulose Acetate as a film base has prompted EROMM to build a new tool, the Cellulose Acetate Microfilm Database or CAMD.
