Document Delivery and Resource Sharing

The IFLA Document Delivery and Resource Sharing Section Standing Committee invites papers for the IFLA Document Delivery and Resource Sharing Satellite Meeting at the Library of Congress, Washington DC., USA. The theme of the Satellite Meeting is “Transforming resource sharing in a networked global environment” and the meeting will be held in association with the 82nd Annual IFLA Conference in Columbus, Ohio, USA. (13-19 August 2016). As library users’ information needs become more diverse and international, we, resource sharing practitioners are trying our best to satisfy our users’ demands by going up and beyond the traditional boundary of resource sharing. Contacting a colleague in another side of the globe became not rare but a daily task for many of us. However, there are obvious challenges to overcome before achieving a seamless global resource sharing network. The DDRS Standing Committee believes this satellite meeting at the Library of Congress will provide our community a good opportunity to share our experience and knowledge regarding the resource sharing in a networked global environment. Sharing our experience will be the starting point of a better resource sharing network.
