    Going Global: An International Survey of Lending and Borrowing Across Borders
    (2011-09-19) Baich, Tina; Weltin, Heather
    In Fall 2009, the ALA RUSA STARS International ILL Committee published “Lending and Borrowing Across Borders: Issues and Challenges with International Resource Sharing” in the Reference and User Services Quarterly, which was the result of a survey of U.S. libraries that participated in international lending and borrowing. Building on the findings from the U.S. survey, the Committee conducted an international survey of libraries regarding international interlibrary loan issues in 2011. This paper will focus on the preliminary findings from the survey and areas of concerns raised by international suppliers. Comparing the two surveys, the report will focus on similarities across the world for international interlibrary loan, and ways to improve resource sharing globally.

    Open access to the world: locating international publications to fill ILL requests
    (2014-06-06) Baich, Tina
    Google, WorldCat, and other online discovery tools have increased the likelihood that users will identify non-U.S. resources, but multiple catalog records and myriad open access repositories make it less likely that users will be able to locate them. ILL practitioners play a vital role by bridging the gap between identification and location yet many find the process of locating potential lenders of non-U.S. resources difficult. This presentation will describe online finding aids and open access repositories that can assist ILL practitioners in this process. Identifying appropriate lenders and utilizing open access resources speeds the process for end users and fosters goodwill among our international partners. The resources described in this presentation can help ILL practitioners overcome the simplest of barriers to international ILL, citation verification.
