Resource sharing: a Union Experience

rosen — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 10:15:03 +0000

Several libraries use state or regional union catalogs as their primary method of resource sharing. Making a request through the union catalog is often cheaper and more efficient than other methods for fulfilling ILL requests. Union catalogs come in all shapes and sizes and are unique in terms of policies and members.

We will look at three union catalogs–MelCat-(Michigan), Swift (Colorado State Library) and Prospector (CO Alliance of Research Libraries) that have been in operation over the last 10 years. Members from each will discuss how they became established, how they were able to agree on policies, and some of the challenges and opportunities of resource sharing.

Interlibrary Loan: The Future is Now!

rosen — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 15:00:12 +0000

Times are tough for libraries. That doesn’t change the fact that our users still want it… and they want it now – not in the future! In spite of these tough times, and sometimes because of them, new and exciting ILL initiatives and innovations are succeeding. Innovation and change in ILL, first and foremost, require collaboration. This session will begin with a collaborative discussion of the most difficult challenges the ILL community will face, and will continue with an overview of how collaboration, new technology, and hard work will lead to useful solutions.
