Presentation Type: Interlibrary Loan VIRTUAL

Presenters: Test, ,

Abstract: This session shares how one geographically remote academic library developed strategies for resource sharing of special collections materials and other non lendable items by implementing three resource sharing services: Controlled Digital Lending for ILL, Remote Microfilm Viewing, and CDL for AV Media. Being geographically isolated presents challenges for resource sharing of unique and special collections items and other non-circulating materials. Timely shipping challenges, shipping costs, and the steep, often prohibitive cost for on site research visits limits access to research materials. This presentation shares how the library expanded its early pilot of Controlled Digital Lending for course reserves to CDL for ILL of special collections materials. To address the challenge to provide access to non-circulating unique microfilm materials and AV media, the library established a Remote Microfilm Viewing service and CDL Steaming for select special AV media items. This presentation shares how the library set these up, the challenges, and success to date. (I hope to be able to present in person but checked "Virtual Option" below. Willing to discuss.)
