Resource Sharing & Fulfillment Team

Team Charge

The Resource Sharing & Fulfillment (RSF) Team provides broad oversight and leadership for the development and use of resource sharing and fulfillment systems and services. As experts for the consortium, the team determines policies and procedures and continually assesses resource sharing and fulfillment systems and interfaces to achieve improved services.

The Team:

Ensures that Summit/fulfillment processing is streamlined and stable, to support improved user and staff experiences through:

  • Documenting all procedural workflows and maintaining their accuracy, including creating and maintaining online training manuals and videos.
  • Supporting ongoing development of consortial resource sharing and fulfillment functionality.
  • Coordinating monthly Alma release testing in resource sharing and fulfillment.

New:

We realize that bringing your question up in an open call can be a little intimidating (although we’re all very friendly and eager to interact).  If you have a question or issue you’d like some help with but are not yet fully comfortable speaking in front of the group, use this Anonymous Ask form!  Please don't expect replies as it is completely anonymous, but , if the question or idea is intriguing, helpful or otherwise endearing,  we’ll add it to our open call agenda and give it some discussion.  Tune in for answers and *don't be shy!*


FY18 Final Report

Goals:


  • Developing Alma analytics: Build capacity through developing shared reports, training, and documentation for resource sharing and fulfillment areas.
  • Expanding resource sharing: Partner with other program areas (ULC, SCTS) to investigate sharing unique and local content, as well as digital resources.
  • Partnering externally: Work with other consortia to improve the Alliance's consortial resource sharing and fulfillment processes and workflows, including investigating Ex Libris' Fulfillment Network option for resource sharing.
  • Improving connections: Develop a mentorship program that facilitates connections between like institutions and staff in similar roles to build expertise; connect new Alliance member staff to resources.
