Cooperative Remote Storage: Challenges for Resource Sharing
Jessica A. Bailey, Mary C. Radnor · Journal of Interlibrary Loan Document Delivery & Electronic Reserve · 2009
Cooperative storage involves two or more libraries sharing space within a facility. Kansas State University leases space at the Library Annex, a remote storage facility owned and operated by the University of Kansas. Various challenges are involved in maintaining access to remotely stored materials for resource sharing and document delivery purposes. The authors, staff members of the Interlibrary Services Unit at Kansas State University, discuss variables affecting access to remote materials and share their experience working within a cooperative storage model.
