*Project ReShare: Empowering Paradigm Shifts in Resource Sharing*

*Presented by Jill Morris – Executive Director, PALCI (ReShare)*

*Allen Jones - Director, Digital Library and Technical Services, The New
School (ReShare)*

For years, libraries have been sharing materials by adapting to the
constraints of outdated sharing systems. The idea of “collective
collections” and the “networked collection” are popular among libraries and
consortia, but in reality, most libraries lack the tools, data, and
interoperable systems that would allow them to accomplish that vision.  The
shortcomings of our current systems are illuminated further by the
challenges imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, as libraries grapple with how
best to share materials, both physical and digital, to support their
communities in a crisis. The ReShare Community is a group of libraries,
consortia, information organizations and software developers, with both
commercial and non-commercial interests, who came together in 2018 to
create Project ReShare

– a new and open approach to library resource sharing.



Innovation and empowerment are central to the vision for ReShare, as the
community collaborates to build a user-centered, app-based, community-owned
resource sharing platform that will set the standard for how we connect
library patrons to the resources and information they require. With its
beta release out this spring and the first full release of the software due
in summer 2020 (ReShare 1.0), Jill Morris will give an overview of ReShare,
describe her role and the PALCI consortium’s decision to pilot the
software, as well as exciting new developments on the horizon. Allen Jones,
Chair of the Project ReShare Subject Matter Experts (SME) Team, will
describe the work of the project’s SMEs, give a demonstration of the
current software and the approach taken by The New School to integrate
resource sharing seamlessly into its patron workflows.



*BREAK: 11:00 – 11:15*

*Sharing Library Resources: Interlibrary Loan in the Time of Coronavirus
and Beyond*

*Presented by Beth Posner - Head of Library Resource Sharing, Associate
Professor, The Graduate Center, CUNY*

Interlibrary loan specialists have made nimble and coordinated changes to
policies and procedures as the library resource sharing community responds
to the novel coronavirus. The result of physical distancing, remote working
arrangements and temporary closures of physical library spaces and stacks
has led to challenges and successes that are both evolving and evident. As
always, we have been able to work with colleagues in other libraries to
share what we can. We are also working within our libraries to research
e-book availability, initiate purchases and investigate any and all ways to
access needed information. This emergency has made clear just how much
information is still only available in print and in libraries, how license
terms and embargos limit learning and research, how fair use projects can
protect learning and research, and how information can and needs to be
shared by librarians. In light of this, I propose to take a look back at
what has been done, how it has been done, what it will take to get us back
to business as usual, and what this experience may mean for the future of
libraries and information sharing.


*11:45 – 12:15*

*Interlibrary Lending of Whole Ebooks*

*Presented by Michael Rodriguez - Collections Strategist, UConn Library*

*Stanley Huzarewicz - Interlibrary Services Librarian, UConn Library*

*University of Connecticut*

Interlibrary lending rights have traditionally not applied to whole ebooks.
Some libraries do lend ebook chapters, but this is not a scalable approach.
Inability to share ebooks is among the primary drawbacks of switching from
print to electronic monographs, as this move forces libraries to surrender
their rights under the first-sale doctrine; it creates a barrier to access,
impeding research and scholarship. Whole ebook lending is essential to
library futures, but publisher licenses have generally prohibited whole
ebook lending. Ebooks, especially those distributed by aggregators such as
ProQuest and EBSCO, are usually wrapped in digital rights management (DRM)
restrictions, which make sharing unfeasible. Finally, existing interlibrary
loan workflows and tools designed for article and print lending are not
always suitable for supporting whole ebook lending.

The University of Connecticut is working to transform this restrictive
model. Starting in 2018, we have worked with publishers large and small to
authorize whole ebook lending. Over the past year we have also developed
custom interlibrary lending workflows in ILLiad and RAPID to support this
new model. The presenters will share tips for negotiating with publishers
to achieve whole ebook lending rights, including model license language. It
will touch on new workflows that UConn Library’s Interlibrary Services Unit
developed to implement this type of lending. Benefits of this
transformative approach, a snapshot of the ebooks landscape, next steps,
and implications for ebook futures will be shared. Audiences will come away
inspired and equipped to pursue whole ebook lending at their own libraries.


*BREAK: 12:15 – 12:30 *


*12:30 – 1:00*

*The Perfect Storm:  Using the Potential Loss of the Big Deal to Promote
Open Access Publishing*.


*Presented by Elaine Wells, MA, MLS, AHIP(D), SUNY Distinguished Librarian,
Director of Library Services, Harold Kohn Vision Science Library, SUNY
College of Optometry*

In follow-up to a SUNY Board of Trustees mandate to design an open access
policy, the Library engaged stakeholders in the creation of a document
encouraging, but not mandating, publication in open access sources. Concern
about the loss of the Big Deal and worries about publishing mandates
created a unique opportunity to educate faculty about the benefits of open
access publishing and availability of quality information through
non-subscription sources. Through this collaborative process we addressed
discoverability of articles, citation rates, workload and decision-making,
wordsmithing the document to ease faculty concerns over autonomy in
publishing choices. For example, “request a waiver” became “generate a
waiver”, easing discomfort about potential refusals.

Several points of caution remain. As a work plan is created, including
tasks like institutional repository deposit, article processing fee
management, and metadata assignment, library staff must ensure that
resources are adequate to meet demand. Difficult topics such as financing
of article processing fees may arise. As possible, budgetary issues should
be separated from the policy development process. The evolution of
scholarly publishing toward open access provides a unique opportunity for
academic librarians to design policies and procedures that ease
subscription costs, support scholarly publishing, and promote a more
equitable system of information access--crisis management at its best.


*1:00 – 1:30*

*Where’s my Place in the Stack?*

*Presented by Nate Hill – Executive Director, METRO*

Frequently, consortia work is ‘middle-people’, brokering and negotiating
services between their members and another service provider. In other
cases, these organizations situate themselves deeper into the stack and
invest in building the infrastructure that can power ‘middle-person’
services. Traditionally, resource sharing has existed in the
‘middle-person’ layer. This could mean contracting with a courier to
deliver materials between locations, or it could mean accessing APIs to
enhance interoperability between complex library systems. METRO’s new open
source repository architecture, Archipelago

is an example of resource sharing enabled by working at an infrastructural
level. This presentation will tell you about Archipelago, and challenge the
audience to position their services deeper in the stack.
