WISCAT 2010: a Year of Significant Change

Resources for Libraries & Lifelong Learning (RL&LL) staff implemented some major changes in WISCAT resource sharing this year to improve service and efficiency. These included expanding out of state interlibrary loan trading partners, improving ISO connections, streamlining union/virtual catalogs interaction, updating software, and automating workflow. During this session, David Sleasman, Team Leader for Resource Sharing Technology, Reference and Loan Library, will provide and update and gather audience input, comments, and ideas for continued improvement.
