In this session, we’ll discuss how to design and update custom holdings for ILL borrowing to make the best use of automations offered by OCLC, take advantage of consortial borrowing agreements, and explore new borrowing opportunities. Topics for this session include how to use OCLC profiled groups or integrate profile group information into your custom holdings and how to set up and use of the automated request manager (ARM) and smart lender strings. We’ll also provide a brief overview of OCLC Resource Sharing for Groups and its use by the Big Ten Academic Alliance libraries (BTAA).

Speakers:

• Amy Heberling, Borrowing/Resource Sharing Associate, University of Nebraska-Lincoln Libraries
• Brynne Norton, Head, Resource Sharing & Reserves, University of Maryland, College Park

This presentation will be followed by a 30-minute open discussion.
