Your library's interlibrary loan service should reflect your philosophy of service, your institution's mission and your library's unique collection. But how do you do that? What's behind interlibrary loan, how does this community work together and where do you go for support beyond the keystrokes?

Join other interlibrary loan practitioners for a free half-day workshop entitled "ILL — Everything You Always Wanted to Know But Were Afraid to Ask" on January 11, 2008, from 8:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. at the University of Pennsylvania Law School. The workshop is brought by RUSA STARS, the Sharing and Transforming Access to Resources Section of ALA's Reference and User Services Division www.ala.org/ala/rusa/rusaourassoc/rusasections/stars/rusastars.cfm.

This no-charge workshop will help you understand the "why" behind interlibrary loan — the community you're a part of and your responsibilities to that community as a borrower and a lender. Copyright, standards and other resources will also be discussed.

Who should attend: Resource Sharing staff responsible for setting resource sharing policies, entering reciprocal agreements, making decisions about end-user services, interacting with collection development or overseeing resource sharing.

Whether you're new to resource sharing or you've been providing service for years, this is a chance to reconsider your operation, rethink your approach and be a full participant in the resource sharing community.
