Resource Sharing for the Future, Building Blocks for Success
Libraries the world over are facing financial challenges in collection build-up; one obvious way to address this is to establish some form of resource sharing between libraries.
While resource sharing sounds good as an idea, the actual pathways leading to successful implementation are subject to various inter-dependencies and obstacles such as rights and distribution. How will these issues affect your library’s existing interlending and document supply service, one of the key services of any library's operations? Will these issues require new frameworks and processes to be drawn up to allow resource sharing between libraries?
The purpose of this conference aims not only at the sharing of collective knowledge about how libraries can tackle these challenges but also to open up opportunities for libraries, librarians and associated industry players to get to know each other better and work out suitable partnerships that will help to improve the provision of services at libraries.
ILDS gathers the "Who’s Who" in the arena of Interlending and Document Supply services provided by the libraries around the world.
At this dedicated arena for professionals in the industry, delegates can explore and capitalize on the emerging opportunities abound and form strategic alliances.
Gain valuable insights, exchange ideas and build new networks at the 10th Interlending & Document Supply International (ILDS) Conference to be held at the National Library in Singapore from 29 - 31 October 2007.
