Conference: 12th Interlending and Document Supply Conference. Due July 15

ONLY 3 DAYS LEFT FOR EARLY REGISTRATION TO THE 12th Interlending and Document Supply (ILDS) Conference. Rates increase after this Friday, July 15.

Come to the Windy City to hear how libraries across the globe are creatively sharing their resources to cope with shrinking library budgets, skyrocketing collection costs, and increasingly restrictive copyright laws. You'll hear about the latest developments in interlibrary loan: new technologies, recent cost studies, sharing digital resources, and strategies for improving transborder ILL. Our speakers will describe many cutting-edge projects, from cooperative collection development ventures to shared storage facilities to purchase-on-demand programs. Abstracts for all conference papers are available here.
