A decade working in/with resource sharing, and I still experience a thrill when an article I requested via ILL arrives just a few hours later. Kudos @uwmlibraries and @UMDLibraries for the fast turnaround today!

“The enemy here is “closed”, not “profit” per-se. While the two often go hand in hand, that’s not always the case.” So much good stuff here: Invest in Open Infrastructure from @scholarlykitchn @rschon #agency #opensource @ProjectReshare scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/…
Glad to see "investing in resource sharing services and systems" highlighted in this brief. Resource sharing is essential to providing access to a collective collection, and investment is required to modernize and optimize ILL services.
In an increasingly networked, distributed, licensed environment, how do we define the library collection? In this new brief, I reflect on the changes and impact on the notion of collections @IthakaSR What’s a Collection Anyway? | Ithaka S+R sr.ithaka.org/publications/w…
Really exciting project focused on minimizing duplication of efforts and getting accessible materials into users’ hands ASAP. Here’s to hoping that many more partners come on board!

Confession: I have never thought about accessibility in my role as an author before. Thanks to @M_Publishing and @UMinnPress for calling our attention to how authors and publishers can partner to produce born accessible content! #btaalib19
