  2. Library Technology Reports • Resource Sharing in Libraries: Concepts, Products, Technologies, and Trends • January 2013 • Vol 49, No. 1

  3. Library Technology Reports • Supplementing your local collection through resource sharing is a smart way to ensure your library has the resources to satisfy the needs of your users. Marshall Breeding’s new Library Technology Report explores technologies and strategies for sharing resources, helping you streamline workflows and improve resource-sharing services by covering key strategies like interlibrary loan, consortial borrowing, document delivery, and shared collections. You’ll also learn about such trends and services as: • OCLC WorldCat Resource Sharing, and other systems that facilitate cooperative, reciprocal lending • System-to-system communications that allow integrated systems to interact with resource-sharing environments • Technical components that reliably automate patron requests, routing to suppliers with tools for tracking, reporting, and staff intervention as needed • Specialized applications that simplify document delivery, such as Ariel, Odyssey, or OCLC’s Article Exchange • How the NISO Circulation Interchange Protocol (NCIP) can enable borrowing among consortial libraries using separate integrated library systems  • The Orbis Cascade Alliance consortium, examined using a case study

  4. General issue • How do libraries work together strategically to share physical and electronic collections • Direct consortial borrowing • Shared Systems • Shared Infrastructure

  25. Strategic Cooperation and Resource sharing • Efforts on many fronts to cooperate and consolidate • Many regional consortia merging (Example: Illinois Heartland Library System) • State-wide or national implementations • New Zealand: Kōtui, TePuna • Software-as-a-service or “cloud” based implementations • Many libraries share computing infrastructure and data resources

  26. Reconceptualization of Automation • Current organization of functionality based on past assumptions • Possible new organizing principles • Fulfillment = Circulation + ILL + DCB + e-commerce • Resource management = Cataloging + Acquisitions + Serials + ERM • Customer Relationship Management = Reference + Circulation + ILL (public services) • Enterprise Resource Planning = Acquisitions + Collection Development

  27. Library Management Systems • Introduction of new Library Services Platforms • Compressive resource management: print, electronic, digital • New technology platforms: SOA / Web-based interfaces • Designed for deployment through software as a service (multi-tenant) • Examples: Ex Libris Alma, Serials Solutions Intota, OCLC WorldShare Platform, Innovative Interfaces Sierra, Kuali OLE

  28. General trend toward Cloud Computing • Transition from locally managed systems to hosted • Major implications on resource allocation, including personnel, equipment and facilities • Systems with substantially different architectures and functional organization • Data storage implications • Options for in-country hosting facilities? • Increased opportunity for replication • Increased opportunities for collaborative management and access
