The day after: RSCVD lesson on resource sharing

The initiative “Resource Sharing in the Times of COVID-19” (RSCVD) was launched by the IFLA DDRS Committee to help libraries to fulfill users’ requests and information needs during the pandemic emergency. We describe our RSCVD experience of Italian volunteering librarians who provided and go on to provide materials through secure systems from libraries of the NILDE Network for the worldwide librarians. We present difficulties, results and open questions regarding document delivery and resource sharing exchanges. We can highlight benefits (international networking) and critical points (unsuccessful research of electronic documents). Finally we propose suggestions to better retrieve papers and books

The publication seeks to address international resource sharing, exploring the current state of European and international resource sharing systems and the governing laws and regulations and includes case studies and best practices from various countries

Document delivery and resource sharing: global perspectives

This publication has been written in the framework of the European Erasmus+ project “HERMES - Strengthening digital resource sharing during COVID and beyond”, with the aim of promoting a wide reflection about the meaning and practices of resource sharing involving the worldwide information community and fostering the emergence of a common perspective. Resource sharing is an important and long-standing function of libraries, but resource sharing practices are rarely featured in library and information science programs. This publication is intended to provide librarians, library practitioners, as well as teachers, researchers, and students of universities and research organizations and other interested parties, a foundation in resource sharing principles, practices and management. This publication provides an overview of where things stand today with resource sharing, including key trends, challenges, opportunities, and priorities. The publication seeks to address international resource sharing, exploring the current state of European and international resource sharing systems and the governing laws and regulations and includes case studies and best practices from various countries. Despite authors representing ten countries and efforts to seek information from many more, the authors acknowledge that the publication is not exhaustive on all countries, regions, and laws around the world. Instead, this work should be a good point of entry for people new to resource sharing, but also stimulating for experienced professionals. The author’s ambition is for it to become a must-read piece in the wider resource sharing world and inspire more libraries to participate in open resource sharing practices both locally and internationally

Un'esplosione di conoscenza: dalla teoria alla pratica per ridurre le disuguaglianze: Atti dell’ XI CONVEGNO NAZIONALE sul Document Delivery e la cooperazione interbibliotecaria

Il volume raccoglie gli atti dell'XI Conferenza Nilde che ha rappresentato la funzione strategica delle biblioteche nell'accesso alla conoscenza e nella circolazione delle informazioni. Tra i temi della Conferenza, i relatori hanno sottolineato l'importante ruolo delle biblioteche nel sostenere l'inclusività, ridurre le disuguaglianze e promuovere un accesso all'informazione più ampio ed equo per tutti, indipendentemente dai Paesi di provenienza e dalle risorse disponibili. Particolare attenzione è stata rivolta ai nuovi progetti ispirati dalla pandemia, come Hermes - Strengthening digital resource sharing during Covid and beyond, di cui sono stati mostrati i primi risultati. Infine, un altro tema chiave è stato quello dell'Open Science, con un confronto tra le iniziative portate avanti da Università e Istituti di ricerca

L’esperienza e il contributo della CBN Virtual Library per RSCVD

Nel 2020 La pandemia globale ha portato alla chiusura di molti edifici delle biblioteche e allo spostamento dei servizi in modalità online. Le attività di condivisione delle risorse sono diventate impossibili o molto difficili da svolgere per molte biblioteche, ma le esigenze di informazioni degli utenti sono rimaste le stesse o sono aumentate a causa della situazione emergenziale. Il Comitato IFLA DDRS ha lanciato l'iniziativa "Condivisione delle risorse ai tempi del COVID-19" (acronimo: RSCVD) ed è stato creato un semplice form on line per domandare i materiali richiesti dagli utenti. I membri del comitato DDRS ed i bibliotecari volontari di tutto il mondo hanno fornito materiali provenienti dalle proprie raccolte tramite OCLC Article Exchange Service o altri sistemi sicuri. La Rete NILDE e il suo Comitato delle Biblioteche (CBN) hanno sostenuto e partecipato all'iniziativa RSCVD sin dall'inizio: è stata quindi creata la "Biblioteca virtuale RSCVD del CBN" con lo scopo di agire da intermediario tra le biblioteche richiedenti RSCVD e le biblioteche fornitrici NILDE. Le richieste provenienti da RSCD sono state gestite da un piccolo gruppo di volontari del CBN. Parleremo dell'esperienza presentando il metodo e l’organizzazione del lavoro, le difficoltà ed i successi, oltre ai risultati ed alle statistiche.During 2020 the global pandemic resulted in many library buildings being closed and services moving fully online. Resource sharing activities have become either impossible or very difficult to perform for many libraries, but users’ information needs remained the same or increased because of the situation of emergency. The IFLA DDRS Committee launched the initiative “Resource Sharing in the Times of COVID-19” (acronym: RSCVD) and a simple on line form was created to request the materials requested by users. The DDRS committee members and volunteering librarians worldwide provided the materials through the OCLC Article Exchange Service or other secure systems from their libraries collections. The NILDE Network and the NILDE Commitee of Libraries (CBN) supported and partecipated in RSCVD initiative since the beginning: therefore the "RSCVD Virtual Library of CBN" was created with the aim to act as intermediary between RSCVD requesting libraries and NILDE supplying libraries. Requests from RSCVD have been handled by a small group of CBN volunteers

Grantseeking, Technology Renovation, and Creative Solutions to Support Library Access and Online Teaching and Learning During the Global COVID-19 Outbreak

The sudden global epidemiological outbreak in early spring 2020 challenged the academic libraries’ Access and Resource Sharing (ARS) department and prevented staff from providing the types of essential services that its users expect and require. With the full closure of campus and all courses moving online within a week, ARS staff were put on the front lines of finding ways to continue providing patrons with access to the library’s physical collections while library buildings were closed. This paper details how the ARS community and a large research university library’s ARS department responded and adapted to these rapid changes, acted creatively, and reinvented services through collaboration, creative solutions, grantseeking, and technology renovation. ARS staff continued to test a scan-beside-the-stacks methodology through a grant-funded project to create an Interlibrary Loan (ILL) mobile cart. This mobile cart allowed for a single employee to handle all items to complete the digital conversion of print materials and reduced the risk of coronavirus transfer between library staff members during the COVID-19 pandemic. An on-demand book digitization program in collaboration with multiple departments opened up access to resources to effectively fulfill patrons’ needs. Through these and other adaptations, ARS staff retained their professional commitment to provide materials and a high level of services to their users

elaborazione di statistiche nel resource sharing tra biblioteche

In questa tesi viene illustrato il percorso di studio, progettazione e integrazione di Elasticsearch, un motore di ricerca utilizzato per indicizzare e analizzare grandi quantità di dati in modo efficiente e veloce, per l’elaborazione di dati statistici in Talaria, un software open source per lo scambio di documenti tra biblioteche. Talaria è un’applicazione web basata su Laravel, React e MySQL. L’obiettivo del presente lavoro è quello di rendere più efficiente l’elaborazione di statistiche sui dati generati dalle richieste di documenti tra biblioteche. Grazie all’integrazione di Elasticsearch, Talaria può mostrare le statistiche in modo più rapido e accurato rispetto al predecessore, NILDE. La dissertazione descrive come è stato progettato e implementato Elasticsearch in Talaria, partendo dalla configurazione del backend, sviluppato in Laravel, fino alla realizzazione del frontend con React, che consente di visualizzare statistiche avanzate in modo interattivo. I test, eseguiti sia su dati reali che fittizi, hanno evidenziato miglioramenti significativi nelle prestazioni rispetto alla precedente architettura, basata esclusivamente sugli strumenti di indicizzazione e ricerca messi a disposizione da MySQL. Infine vengono proposti alcuni sviluppi futuri, come l’ampliamento della gamma di statistiche offerte e l’uso del machine learning per analisi statistiche più avanzate
