Resources Anytime, Anywhere: How Interlibrary Loan Becomes Resource Sharing

Resources Anytime, Anywhere: How Interlibrary Loan Becomes Resource Sharing examines the phenomena where university campuses and their academic libraries are becoming increasingly interconnected. A major sign of this is the transformation of interlibrary loan into resource sharing. The book explores the transformation of interlibrary loan into resource sharing by taking a look at the ideas that have motivated the library-developed technologies that have changed the way resource sharing is conducted. The technologies developed by the Texas Tech University libraries and others focus on three main ideas. The first idea is that resource sharing as a work process must be viewed more as logistical management rather than through the traditional lens of just lending books. To that end, the book examines a statistical tracking system with predictive analytics to assess resources sharing transactions. It also considers a logic processing system. Second, the types of resources being shared have evolved beyond the traditional books and articles. This evolution leads to the creation of Occam's Reader, the first library-developed method to lend eBooks via interlibrary loan. The final characteristic of the new model of resource sharing is connecting with users in different ways. To that end, there have been developments in mobile apps and other systems that allow users to make requests of the resource sharing department directly from any setting.
