Access to Print in the Virtual World of the 2020 Pandemic: an ILL Story
SCC/MLA 2020; October 25 - 29, 2020; Virtual
Abstract
During the 2020 Pandemic as libraries closed or went virtual, it became clear that access to print collections was limited in much of the United States but that there was still a need for material from print journals. Since our Library reduced hours but never closed, we had access to our full print collection. This access increased the number of lends from our print collection, the number of libraries served, and gave us ideas regarding the future of our print collections. This presentation will be a data analysis of our collection use, broken down by usage, title, subject, years and countries served.
