Dragonfly Summer 2004 -- Volume 35, Number 3

The Northwest ILL Conference: What's in It for You?

by Susan Barnes, Resource Sharing Coordinator
NN/LM Pacific Northwest Region

It's just a few weeks away! The Northwest Interlibrary Loan and Resource Sharing Conference will return for its third year at the lovely Portland Community College Sylvania campus on Thursday and Friday, September 16 and 17, 2004.

Program highlights:

• DOCLINE Interest Group meeting on Thursday, 9/16, at noon
• Electronic Document Delivery sessions on Friday morning, 9/17, beginning at 9am, including
• • demonstration of Web delivery products,
  • overview of licensing issues and EDD workflow
  • discussion about the docMD project, which has helped hospital libraries in Ohio overcome firewall problems, and
  • presentation about a wireless scanning Ariel booktruck.
• Sessions about direct to patron delivery, openURL, supervision of part-time employees, streamlining workflow in small libraries, on-demand purchasing via ILL…
• And more! Visit the conference Web site for details.

Register by September 1 and the cost is only $85 for the two days, including lunch both days, a reception on Thursday, and a continental breakfast on Friday. If you can only come for one day, the cost will be $55 (if you register by September 1, that is!) The PCC Sylvania campus is convenient to I-5, and parking is free.

We're fortunate to have a conference that focuses on ILL right here in our neighborhood-you'd have to go all the way to Colorado to find another ILL conference. Interlibrary loan occupies an important place in many of our worklives, and is a very significant service in medical libraries. This conference is a great opportunity to learn about new technologies and trends in resource sharing, and also to talk with your colleagues about nitty-gritty ILL processing details.

Join us! And save money-register by September 1. at : http://www.oclc.org/western/nwILL/register.asp
