(you wouldn’t want to be anywhere else!)
Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre 1 – 3 September 2010
Report by Dianne Ollerenshaw. Thanks to Jacinta for arranging our library access to web streaming for various presentations. My events were focussed on resource sharing and I have made notes on bits that peaked my interest. Please use the links to read the whole paper.
1.30-3.00 pm Collective Wealth, Global Sharing, Global Resources / Chair Graham Black.
1. Invited Speaker - NSLA Libraries Working Towards Seamless Access - Discover to Delivery Vicky Carlyon, State Library of Western Australia, WA Abstract Paper
Two of the presenters I listened to were from NSLA. NSLA is commissioned to Re-imagine Libraries.
(National & State Libraries Australasia (NSLA) represents the National, State and Territory Libraries of Australia and New Zealand. The libraries are National Library of Australia (NLA); National Library of New
Zealand (NLNZ); ACT Library & Information Services (ACTLIS); State Library of South Australia (SLSA);
State Library of Western Australia (SLWA); Northern Territory Library (NTL) ; State Library of
Queensland (SLQ); State Library of New South Wales (SLNSW); State Library of Tasmania (SLT) and
State Library of Victoria (SLV).)
Vicky is on the committee working on Delivery. They began in 2008 and are half way through the project which is focussing on delivering books and copies direct to clients in their home or wherever.
In the age of new online services, people want simple and quick options for the delivery of library content.
Challenges the committe has found include:
Vicky recommended having a look at the Montana Home Delivery Service.
2. Doc Del is Dead! Long Live ILL! Helen Balfour & Kael DriscollUniversity of Western Australia, WA Abstract Paper
Helen and Kael demonstrated that over the last few years interlending at UWA has increased markedly while document delivery has declined. With more journals being available electronically, and the increase in e-books it was expected ILL/DD would fade away.
Since 2003 there has been a steady increase in loans. Copy requests began to decline in 2003, but since 2008 have started to increase again.
They have focussed on making online requesting easy by offering FIND IT and GET IT options via their VDX system.
"In 2008 we introduced online end user requesting through the VDX software system, branded as Get It. This allowed all eligible staff and students to access the service without having to manually register, which had previously deterred many users. We linked Get It directly to Find It (our OpenURL link resolver) so that users could make requests directly from citation information using the seamless OpenURL technology."
From 2007-2009 Make it Easy showed a 70% increase in requests.
The use of monographs is high in the arts, humanities and social sciences but not in science, medicine, technology.
Helen and Kael surmise that increased ILL activity could be a result of decreased budgets, less monographs are being purchased. Also as there is more online exposure, there is greater demand.
They found that 80% of ILLs were available for purchase and think more institutions are opting for 'just in time" rather than "just in case".
So far e-books have not impacted on ILLs. Clients have actually been requesting printed versions after they have looked at the e-book.
They also spoke about how ILLs could assist in Collection Development.
3. Unmediated Delivery: A Helicopter View Helen Thurlow State Library of Queensland, QLD Abstract Paper
Helen is also with NSLA and spoke of their aim for One Library, Transforming library culture, and Accessible content. Again we hear that we need to move from process oriented practice to client oriented practice. To look at things from the Borrowing perspective rather than the Lending perspective.
Most challenging across the libraries involved has been the registration and identification of your clients.
Helen spoke about being aware of the commercial competition for our services and recommended having a look at the Rethinking Resource Sharing Manifesto.
So let's get to it for our customers. We just need e-payment thru an e-commerce system to start posting items direct to homes.

In the age of new online services, people want simple and quick options for the delivery of library content.
Challenges the committe has found include:
- distance - technical difficulties with web conferences - one day of face to face meeting achieved the same as five web conferences .
- Between the libraries there are four library management systems and three interlibrary loan systems.
- Whole of government contracts for the various State Governments make it difficult to look at any single delivery option.
Vicky recommended having a look at the Montana Home Delivery Service.
