Check List for Inter-Lending – Part 1 Electronic Copyright –allows the same rights of fair use etc. as applied to hard copies –has provisions for different kinds of copying e.g. electronic storage in various formats etc. –Has provision for a copy to be made and stored temporarily so a legitimate copy can be delivered to the requester

Check List for Inter-Lending – Part 2 Contracts with Publishers & Aggregators –These are often licensing agreements with regard to e-journals and articles –Check that you have provision to make copies under library privilege and fair dealing as part of the contract –Check the agreed access and distribution for your own users – on campus, at home, remote users, other sites –Check where ILL comes in the way end users access information about material they want – is ILL in the right place, or is it less obvious than the publisher/aggregator ‘pay-on-demand’ delivery service?

Check List for Inter-Lending – Part 3 As a borrower - other content providers –Lenders who will send electronic copies of articles (BLDSC, professional bodies, other libraries) –Newspapers –Subject Repositories –Institutional Repositories –Free E-journals

Check List for Inter-Lending – Part 4 As a lender – what can you send? –Own institution repository –Digitised content – e.g. out of copyright articles –E-journal content under license –Other? Know where you stand on every part of your library’s collections to be an effective resource-sharer(!)

Food for Thought Pros and cons –technical developments and limitations –co-ordination of different interests –accessibility issues –archiving The future? –the role of the library –ILL and resource sharing

Is the hybrid library dead? Well, we still use all sorts of content on paper And electronic media continues to expand So we need to have an approach that takes in both!

Tips for the Hybrid ILL Dept Work with the Acquisitions Dept. to develop a mature buying and borrowing policy Be pro-active in promoting ILL as part of the services within the library. –Make your turn-around times visible to end users –Explain what ILL is and how it works to end users –Make sure staff in other library departments know about the service Monitor how ILL services are integrated into your library’s web presence –Make sure ILL is an option on any external searching –Check your placing in the discovery and ordering options for end users
