Santa Clara University and the University of San Francisco are leveraging patron-initiated borrowing data to create a deeper and more browse-able collection in certain subject areas where patrons have shown interest. This same ILL data has also been used to strengthen the meta-collection of our consortium (LINK+) through the intentional and coordinated diversification of approval plan profiles.

Assessing The Strategic Credibility Of Academic Library Circulation And Reference Departments, Rick A. Stoddart, Kathleen Chambers

This poster presents the results of an analysis of the strategic credibility of circulation and reference departments in academic libraries in the Northwest. Outcomes of this research include a potential methodology for library departments to assess their strategic credibility and suggestions on how to communicate this value to others.

Illiad And Alma Learn To Play Well Together, M. Teresa Doherty

VCU Libraries Faculty and Staff Presentations

In technical terms, VCU Libraries repurposed a plug-in developed for NCIP integration between ILLiad and Alma for borrowing and lending functions in ILLiad.
