The Ellis Interlibrary Borrowing and Lending Units participated in a survey over the summer and received our certificate last week. “The Rethinking Resource Sharing STAR Checklist provides library staff an opportunity to review and reflect on the policies and processes that comprise the resource sharing service they provide. The STAR Checklist is designed to be aggressive, challenging library decision-makers to live on the front lines of rethinking resource sharing. There is no expectation that a single library will meet every item on the list. While aggressive, the Rethinking Resource Sharing Initiative also recognizes that achieving STAR status should be attainable.” (From the document accompanying the survey). Several SEC libraries have completed the survey. We have been grouped with Southeastern Libraries and are the 17th library in that grouping to have completed the assessment.
We scored 98 out of 128 points and received Two STAR status.
