2. Content Rental as Replacement for ILL www.ebsco.com
Michael Levine-Clark, article of the week in 2012: Replacing ILL with temporary leases of ebooks http://blog.oup.com/2012/07/replacing-ill-with-temporary-leases-ofebooks/ ILL is a wonderful service, but ILL is a time-consuming, expensive practice www.ebsco.com
12 Traditional ILL steps 1. A student identifies a book that she needs for a research project. 2. She searches her library catalog and discovers that it s not available locally. 3. She fills out a web form to request that her ILL department borrow that book from some other library. 4. The ILL staff do some searching, find another library that owns that book, and request it. 5. The other library receives that request. 6. Staff at the other library identify a location for that book, pull it from the shelf, check it out, pack it up, and mail it to my library. 7. Staff at the borrowing library unpack the book, check it in to the ILL system, and generate a notice to the student that her book has arrived. 8. The student comes to the library and checks the book out. 9. When she is done, she returns it. 10. The local ILL staff check it back in, pack it back up, and mail it. 11. The other library receives it. 12. Staff at that library unpack it, check it back in, and return it to the shelf. All of those steps have costs involved www.ebsco.com
3 step temporary lease model 1. A student identifies an e-book that she needs for a research project. 2. She searches her library catalog and discovers a link to a version that can be leased by the library temporarily. 3. She clicks the link to that e-book and begins reading, while behind the scenes her library is billed for that use.
