The Future of Resource Sharing: The Big Ten Academic Alliance’s Vision for Next Generation Discovery to Delivery Systems
Abstract
The Big Ten Academic Alliance has envisioned a future in which systems interoperability and communication replace today’s silos for a frictionless patron discovery experience and smarter request fulfillment. We will share this vision for next generation discovery to delivery systems, explore some of the functional requirements necessary to achieve it, and invite conversation about how the library community can help transform these ideas into reality.
