LYRASIS 2nd Friday - Resource Sharing Detective Work: Find it and Get it Using Free and Open Access Resources

The digital word is rapidly changing our approach to resource sharing. Institutional repositories, open access resources, and digitization projects are quickly opening doors to previously inaccessible information.

In this free 90 minute 2nd Friday Series session, Russell Palmer, resource sharing and reference specialist at LYRASIS, will share resources, tips, and tricks to help reference and resource sharing staff find and retrieve scholarly articles, newspapers, archival records, maps and other materials that are sometimes challenging to get into the hands of users.

After this session, attendees will be able to:

• Utilize digital resources more effectively as they pursue challenging reference and resource sharing requests
• Decrease the number of unfilled resource sharing requests
• Understand the scope of digital information available in institutional repositories, open access resources, and digital collections
