October 23 and 24 at the Holiday Inn in Saratoga Springs, NY [Hotel Information]
Please join your colleagues at this summit to discuss Resource Sharing in New York State.
We will continue to explore resource sharing models and programs currently in place throughout the state, and beyond. Summit participants will learn about best practices and what the future of resource sharing might look like, and discuss how libraries in New York can work together to further enhance resource sharing. The Discovery and Delivery Working Groups will report on their findings and work since last year.

- Reports from Discovery and Delivery Working Groups
- The Discovery Working Group has focused on a matrix of discovery tools currently in use in New York.
- The Delivery Working Group has developed possible scenarios for statewide delivery, recognizing one solution may not fit all. The scenarios will be discussed at the summit for reaction and to see if there is a viable solution for a statewide delivery system that will serve all.

- Delivering the Goods: Thoughts on the Future of ILL
- Katie Birch, OCLC Portfolio Manager, OCLC Europe
- We will consider how the patron landscape is changing and where the inter-library lending service fits within this changing landscape. We will explore initiatives, projects and innovations taking place around the world in the resource sharing arena. All aspects of ILL will be discussed, including patron initiated requesting, unmediated requesting, copyright, electronic document and home delivery, as well as policies and fee management. Alternatives to ILL will be examined - buy it options and how they can be integrated in to inter-library lending workflow and the library workflow as a whole.
- Panel on RAPID ILL
- Glynis Asu - Hamilton College Library
- Francie Mrkich - Columbia University Libraries
- Bart Harloe - St. Lawrence University Library
- Join our panel members as they discuss their experiences with RapidILL, an article requesting system developed at Colorado State University. RapidILL is built on a relational database of the journal titles and holdings of participating libraries, and automates the document delivery process. All participants commit to 24 hour turnaround and electronic delivery of articles. Learn more about this system, who is using it, and why.
- The Rethinking Resource Sharing Initiative
- Beth Posner, Head of Interlibrary Loan Services, The Graduate Center of the City University of New York
- The Rethinking Resource Sharing Initiative advocates for a revolution in the way that librarians help people access information. Given changing conditions in the information and library worlds, many new possibilities beyond traditional library-to-library interlibrary loan are now possible. The history and work of this group as well as some of the ideas that they are publicizing will be presented.
- Two SUNY’s, 1 Desktop: University of Buffalo Pilot With Empire State College
- Suzanne Hayes - Empire State College
- Carol Lelonek - University of Buffalo Library
- Sarah DiThomas - University of Buffalo Library
- The University at Buffalo (UB) and Empire State College (ESC) of New York designed a pilot project to test the efficacy of providing UB-owned materials to Empire State College faculty and graduate students. ESC’s goal was to complement their virtual library by providing access to UB’s libraries for ESC faculty and graduate students via ILLiad. Articles are sent electronically via Odyssey and books are sent via UPS directly to the patron’s home or office. If a book is not owned by the University at Buffalo, the item is purchased through Amazon and shipped directly to the patron. The purchased books are added to the University at Buffalo’s collection after being returned by the Empire State College patrons.
- This service was accomplished by connecting Empire State College’s ILLiad implementation to the University of Buffalo’s ILLiad client (two SUNY’s, 1 desktop).
