20. Resource Sharing/Collections Collaboration Task Force
A task force is discussing the Collections Committee’s recommendation of four print copies of monographic titles and whether this can be supported by the current ILL infrastructure within VIVA.
Task force members are:
Alison Armstrong (Radford), Jessica Bowdoin (GMU), Ashley Brewer (ODU), Madeline Kelly (GMU), Genya O’Gara (VIVA), and Shirley Thomas (VCU)

21. Resource Sharing/Collections Collaboration Task Force
Based on OCLC data it would appear that the infrastructure can support response and delivery within 48 hours, which was deemed reasonable by the RSC.

22. OCLC’s Move of ILLiad to WorldShare
Many VIVA institutions are concerned about the proposed move of ILLiad to WorldShare.
The committee will meet with Katie Birch and Jennifer Corsi from OCLC to discuss this issue in late November.
