On March 26, 2020, the first online town hall was convened for the resource sharing section of the SHARES consortium. This initial town hall led to regular meetings where resource sharing practitioners could share their stories and learn from one another in an unprecedented time. A small band of volunteers from the SHARES Best Practices group came together to synthesize information presented at these gatherings and to build documentation that would benefit the members of SHARES and the resource sharing community at large. This paper details the background, process and some developments and innovations that came about as a result of these town hall discussions and this valuable collaborative work.","PeriodicalId":35376,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interlibrary Loan, Document Delivery and Electronic Reserve","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87286791","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yale University needed to quickly pivot a heavily physical course reserves service - print books and physical video material held at library service points, - to all-electronic formats. Using data driven methods, Yale was able to match print holdings on physical reserve with digital items held in or able to be licensed through various fulfillment methods.

These were presumed to be from peer libraries that were unable to access their print collections, and few seemed specific to COVID-information needs. This raised the question, “What are libraries doing about providing requested materials in this resource sharing environment, especially when requests cannot be filled through ILL/DD?” This report introduces a multi-institutional research effort by health sciences library staff that is being planned to understand the demand for, and efforts to supply, content from library print and online collections, as well as third-party providers, during COVID. The purpose of this report is to describe the research-in-progress and encourage additional research into maintaining access to information during extraordinary conditions. The expectation is that the results of such research efforts may provide insight on how libraries can adapt their ILL/DD services and workflows during emergencies to license and share resources even more effectively in the future.","PeriodicalId":35376,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interlibrary Loan, Document Delivery and Electronic Reserve","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84166250","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
