Borders without Barriers: Improving the State of International Resource Sharing

Abstract

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.
