What is the Rethinking Resource Sharing Initiative?
an ad hoc group
that advocates
for a complete rethink
of the way libraries
conduct resource sharing

A White Paper
“It’s Time Again to Think about Resource Sharing”
• published February 2005 • By Brenda Bailey-Hainer, Eric Jung,
Gail Wanner, Dan Iddings, Clare MacKeigan, Mark Needleman, Ted Koppel, Candy Zemon
![Page 5: Rethinking Resource Sharing Initiative](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051116/5681585d550346895dc5b969/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
What’s different?
• Internet has changed user expectations
• More people work outside the library context
• Everyone manages information differently
• More use of mobile devices
• The publishing world is changing
![Page 6: Rethinking Resource Sharing Initiative](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051116/5681585d550346895dc5b969/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

• loan, copy, digital copy, and purchase
![Page 11: Rethinking Resource Sharing Initiative](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051116/5681585d550346895dc5b969/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Manifesto

agreements – Goal is lowest barrier to fulfillment
![Page 12: Rethinking Resource Sharing Initiative](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051116/5681585d550346895dc5b969/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

![Page 13: Rethinking Resource Sharing Initiative](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051116/5681585d550346895dc5b969/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Manifesto
• Reference service facilitates sharing– Use reference expertise to aid fulfillment– No findable object should be totally
unattainable
![Page 14: Rethinking Resource Sharing Initiative](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051116/5681585d550346895dc5b969/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Manifesto
• Offer service for a fee rather than refusing service– Strive to achieve services that are not more
expensive than commercial services
![Page 15: Rethinking Resource Sharing Initiative](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051116/5681585d550346895dc5b969/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Manifesto
• Everyone a library user– Registration should be as easy as signing up
for commercial web services
![Page 16: Rethinking Resource Sharing Initiative](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051116/5681585d550346895dc5b969/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Interoperability Committee
• Identify technical challenges in resource sharing • Identify communities who are interested in
building solutions • Outreach to these communities (include systems
vendors) to understand interoperability issues • Promote fledgling solutions to libraries to gather
feedback and make the solutions more effective
![Page 23: Rethinking Resource Sharing Initiative](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051116/5681585d550346895dc5b969/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Interoperability Committee
• GoGetter (GetIt) plug-in Project– Open-source– Vendor neutral– Offers options to get information
![Page 24: Rethinking Resource Sharing Initiative](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051116/5681585d550346895dc5b969/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Status of GoGetter
• Interoperability Committee– Completed the GoGetter prototype– Updated the functional specs– Worked with RRS Marketing Committee for
name/branding– Developed base-level documentation– Awaits resolution of legal issues with the open
source licensing
![Page 25: Rethinking Resource Sharing Initiative](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051116/5681585d550346895dc5b969/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Landscape
• Visual “landscape” of current interoperability for resource sharing– Assessment of usage for standard and
proprietary methods of interoperation– Create scenarios of fulfillment– Identify gaps that need attention from
standards bodies – Thanks to Gail Wanner, SirsiDynix for the
following diagrams!

Conclusions
• Overlapping standards exist– Gap between ISO ILL and NCIP
• Focus is on physical items
• No clear preferred paths; still a maze– Many non-standard links exist– Proprietary solutions common
• Interoperability is possible but not always easy
![Page 32: Rethinking Resource Sharing Initiative](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051116/5681585d550346895dc5b969/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Next Steps
• Adding more scenarios– Develop paths through the landscape– Identify barriers to success
• Adding overlay of future, desired landscape– True interoperability– Physical and electronic– Patron-focused– Standards-based
![Page 33: Rethinking Resource Sharing Initiative](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051116/5681585d550346895dc5b969/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
