    #improveresourcesharing: Indiana Resource Sharing White Paper
    (Indiana State Library, http://www.in.gov/library/files/hashtagimproveresourcesharing.pdf, 2014) Mak, Collette; Baich, Tina; Nicholson, Terri; Roethemeyer, Robert; Schenkel, Nick; Schmidt, Steven; Shaw, Matthew; Wright, Cheryl
    This white paper calls for a series of changes to improve resource sharing in the state of Indiana. These changes include; making rare and scarcely held resources such as local history discoverable; making Indiana Evergreen’s collections discoverable and requestable by other libraries; implementing recommendations on membership in Indiana Share; adherence to best practices for resource sharing; and, recognizing that the population is mobile and that users of public libraries may also be users of academic libraries that a common brand for resource sharing be created to help users find the service at all their libraries.

    Looking for the Impact of Open Access on Interlibrary Loan
    (2016-08-15) Mak, Collette; Baich, Tina
    The purpose of this paper is to analyze interlibrary loan (ILL) article requests for evidence of a decrease that could be attributed to the spread of open access. The authors collected and analyzed the interlibrary loan data of two Indiana academic libraries for requests submitted during October and November (peak ILL months) from 2006-2015. The requests were assigned to one of four categories: general, humanities, social sciences, and sciences based on Library of Congress classification, and the relative age of each article was calculated, where the relative age is the difference between year of publication and year of request. Assuming an embargo period of 12-18 months for traditional publications, a change in articles of relative age 0-2 would suggest that scholars were obtaining that material from other sources. The authors then looked for trends that might indicate the impact of open access on interlibrary loan requests. This paper will present the results and discuss the other environmental factors that may influence the number of requests placed within a field of study.
