Session Description

Monograph collections are increasingly being built around e-books, creating a conundrum for interlibrary loan librarians who feel uncomfortable providing them under current licenses or who have trouble imagining how the process could work. Opening doors with our licensing librarian has allowed us to lend whole e-books with multiple publishers, improving our relationships with other libraries.
