Budget constraints
challenge collection development in unprecedented ways. Collection
development has increasingly become a cooperative effort among libraries
in geographic proximity. When their own library doesn't have certain
books or journals, users turn to interlibrary loan to obtain the
resources they need. However, many library science degree programs don't
cover interlibrary loan. Resource Sharing Today is a practical guide to resource sharing
starting with the library across town and ending with libraries on the
other side of the globe. Chapters cover everything from the ALA's
interlibrary loan form to successful innovations such as Virginia Tech's
ILLiad to New York's IDS (Information Delivery Service). Appendices
include regional, state, national, and international ILL codes, ALA and
IFLA forms, open access agreements, and purchase on demand plans.
