    Articles on Demand: Making "Just in Time" a Reality through Resource Sharing Services
    (2016-03-17) Baich, Tina
    IUPUI University Library’s Resource Sharing & Delivery Services is playing an active role in the library’s strategic shift to a “just in time” collection development philosophy. Using ILL data, the library identified low-use journals where the purchase of individual articles was more cost effective than a subscription. The responsibility then fell to the head of Resource Sharing & Delivery Services to develop a service to fulfill faculty requests from these low-use journals after subscriptions were cancelled. In fall 2014, University Library launched the Articles on Demand for science faculty pilot using the unmediated version of Copyright Clearance Center’s “Get It Now,” giving science faculty quick and easy access to selected journals. The service was expanded to include all faculty in fall 2015. This presentation will describe the background and implementation process of the service, challenges encountered, usage statistics and faculty feedback.

    Borders without Barriers: Improving the State of International Resource Sharing
    (2013-03-21) Baich, Tina
    In 2007 and 2011 surveys conducted by the ALA RUSA STARS International ILL Committee, the identified barriers to international resource sharing were virtually identical. We must address international cooperation issues head-on and increase our knowledge of international resources in order to lower those barriers. In this presentation, I will cover possible ways to lower those barriers and facilitate more efficient resource sharing with other countries.

    Capturing the Benefits of Open Access in Interlibrary Loan
    (Northwest Missouri State University, 2015-11) Baich, Tina
    Though many think primarily of journal articles when discussing open access (OA), there are other document types that can fall under the basic definition of OA such as electronic theses and dissertations (ETDs), conference papers, and reports. Sources of these OA materials abound – institutional repositories, subject repositories, OA journals, organization websites – the list goes on and on. While the sheer number of sources may seem overwhelming, locating OA materials to fill requests provides real benefits to interlibrary loan (ILL) departments. OA allows the fulfillment of requests for materials traditionally difficult to obtain; fills requests quickly without external intervention; and eliminates the cost of borrowing. In order to capture these benefits, ILL practitioners must prioritize their options and streamline the OA workflow. This paper will provide recommendations on how to develop a customized OA workflow that best fits your ILL department.

    Charting New Waters: Partnering to Provide “On Demand” Services
    (2015-06-05) Baich, Tina
    ILL Librarians are charting new waters by taking on new roles and projects beyond traditional interlibrary loan. As many libraries shift their focus from ownership to access and “just in case” to “just in time” provision of materials, we must embrace a broader view of resource sharing. At IUPUI University Library, the Resource Sharing & Delivery Services Librarian is working collaboratively with Acquisitions to provide access to materials when they are needed through “on demand” pilot projects. The “Books on Demand” project will expand on the traditional ILL purchase on demand program by allowing users to request purchases of both print and electronic books through records in the online catalog. The “Articles on Demand” project gives faculty access to unmediated article purchasing from journals to which the library does not subscribe. This presentation will describe these two pilot projects and the role they play in University Library’s new strategic direction for collections. The objective of the session is to provide attendees with a guide to planning and implementing similar services as well as an idea of the obstacles they may encounter.

    Diminishing the perceived need for black open access
    (2017-10-04) Baich, Tina
    The attention garnered by unauthorized sharing and pirating of scholarly content has resulted in a new category on the open access spectrum – black open access. Though black open access attempts to solve the discovery problem inherent in the multitude of open access content sources, it does so in violation of copyright law. Tools have now been developed to combat this same problem legally, including the Open Access Button and Unpaywall. Librarians can engage in several strategies to help diminish the need for black open access, including the promotion of these discovery tools through education and services. We can share the tools with our users and teach them why they should not engage in unauthorized sharing. We can use the tools to fulfill requests and capture the benefits of open access in interlibrary loan. There are also more general strategies related to infrastructure, policy, and education that are important to acknowledge. Librarians can and must move the open access conversation forward in a positive, and legal, direction. This paper provides an overview of the black open access landscape, discusses the discovery tools for uncovering legal open access content, and highlights how librarians can improve systems, services, and education efforts related to open access and open access discovery tools.

    Engineering a Powerfully Simple Interlibrary Loan Experience with InstantILL
    (2019) Paxton, Mike; Maixner, Gary R.; McArthur, Joseph; Baich, Tina
    IUPUI University Library (UL) has long recognized the need to advance Open Access and the crucial role resource sharing services play in bridging between the subscription-based world and an Open world. Resource sharing professionals frequently use library services to search for and retrieve known items, and thus have a key role not only in the provision of services but in demanding better discovery systems, promoting new and better discovery and delivery tools, and educating users. As services such as Primo, EDS, and Google Scholar combine with library website design to promote central indexes, it is increasingly unrealistic to expect the average user to search multiple unpromoted channels for what they need, and so libraries must work to make all aspects of discovery and delivery similarly straightforward. Resource sharing professionals can make significant inroads in improving discovery and delivery of Open Access and subscription content by partnering with Open projects to improve the library user’s experience when searching for known content. This paper will share how UL has taken a concrete step in this direction by working with the Open Access Button to develop InstantILL, a simple, community-owned, search tool for students and researchers to get free, fast, and legal access to articles. With a simple interface that users expect, InstantILL integrates searching library holdings, searching Open Access materials, and submitting interlibrary loan requests into a single action. Attendees will learn why the library chose to pursue this project, what InstantILL is and how it was designed and developed, and the results of the implementation.

    Finding the hard to find: locating newspapers, historic documents & international publications using the internet
    (2010-02-26T18:16:46Z) Baich, Tina
    Do you groan every time you see a newspaper, historic document or international publication interlibrary loan request? This presentation will discuss various resources that will help you locate these hard-to-find documents. The focus will be Web-based finding aids and digital repositories that provide instant access to documents. Another key is tracking your finding aids so you can easily return to them and you'll hear recommendations on how easy this is to do. By the end of the program, you'll no longer be groaning!
