OCLC Resource Sharing Conference (RSC21) web series
OCLC invites you and thousands of ILL professionals and users of OCLC resource sharing services to join us for RSC21. This year’s series of six free, virtual sessions will feature electronic document delivery, controlled digital lending, and moving resource sharing forward during this challenging time.
Each session is scheduled for 90 minutes and will include a 60-minute presentation followed by 30 minutes for Q&A and interactive discussion. (NOTE: The 30-minute discussions will not be recorded.)
RSC21 includes these sessions:*
- Tuesday, March 30, 1:00-2:30 pm | “Page, scan, send, reshelve: A mobile scanning station for ILL electronic document delivery service” (recording and slides available)
- Wednesday, April 28, 11:00 am-12:30 pm | “ILL and the pandemic: Learning from the unexpected”

This year’s agenda is built on topics that the program committee felt would be useful to ILL professionals as pandemic impacts on libraries continue.
