Presentation Type: Interlibrary Loan

Presenters: Test, ,

Abstract: In the summer of 2023, (organization redacted) charged a new working group to investigate a vendor-inclusive, consortial approach to e-book borrowing and lending for (organization redated) member institutions. Over the past year, the group has worked to craft documentation about e-book interlibrary loan in order to demystify the practice and provide actionable steps for libraries to implement this practice into their resource sharing workflows. This presentation will cover the background of the working group’s formation, discuss the challenges of developing standard practices for a relatively new and non-standardized practice, review the current e-book ILL roadmaps in detail, and identify next steps towards broader adoption of the practice amongst our consortium and other libraries. After the presentation, participants will better understand the concrete actions to take if they are interested in adopting e-book ILL borrowing and lending workflows at their library. They will also gain insight into standardizing this practice across a library consortia or broader group of libraries, where varied licensing agreements and different approaches to resource sharing present unique but worthwhile challenges.
