Report of the Task Force on Resource Sharing. Collection Analysis Project.
Van Arsdale, Bill; And Others
This task force report analyzes current cooperative programs, emerging resource sharing programs, and emerging technology as they relate to the extension needs of off-campus students and faculty at the University of Wyoming Library, and presents recommendations where they are warranted. Current cooperative programs reviewed include interlibrary loan; participation in Center for Research Libraries network; ERIC microfiche collection; bilateral agreements; interlibrary loan coding; participation in High Plains Library System Courier, Octanet, OnTyme II, and OCLC; and participation in several union listing projects. Emerging technological opportunities the library is tracking that could improve resource sharing are discussed, including electronic networking, online databases of library holdings, automated serials check-in, implementation of the Geac circulation system, document delivery systems, and automation of interlibrary loan recordkeeping. The formal charge of the Task Force on Resource Sharing is also included. (MBR)
