Dear colleagues,
Join us on October, the 27th 2009, 9AM PDT, (18 CET) for a presentation on
the library's participation OCLC WorldCat Resource Sharing. Meet us at
the "Insel der Information", the sim belonging to the Bavarian State Library
and listen to Regine Becher (member of the user services department of the
Bavarian State Library, Second Life avatar: Emilia Kalamunda).
Abstract:
Since the end of March 2009, the Bavarian State Library takes part in the
interlibrary loan network WorldCat Resource Sharing, through which worldwide
at more than 9,100 libraries interlibrary loan requests can be submitted,
processed, and fulfilled. Based on a short overview over the extensive
document supply services at the Bavarian State Library this lecture points out
the benefit and increased value which the participation in WorldCat Resource
Sharing offers a library and their customers. It will give an idea of the
operation of WorldCat Resource Sharing, including processing document
delivery requests over WorldCat Resource Sharing. Furthermore, the
experiences of the Bavarian State Library with WorldCat Resource Sharing in
the first half year of its participation are described.
