Abstract: Resource sharing and Interlibrary Loan face exciting opportunities to develop new connections between information and library resources and services. Emergent consumer technology is radically changing the nature of Library service; however, we can shape the transformation of resource sharing and interlibrary loan. Framing the evolution of request management systems and resource sharing workflow are communities of adaptations to the changed information and technology landscape. The redefining of our profession and role relies on adopting emergent technology and web services, developing and sharing our knowledge and skills, and advocating new partnerships within libraries and beyond, with users, information organizations, and vendors.
This presentation explores emerging roles for resource sharing and interlibrary loan with a focus on sharing new services and technologies, best practices for adaptation and new partnerships.
