The RSWG will share a resource sharing proposal based our research and on feedback from Q&As. The proposal will be delivered by email to the CLO member of each college on March 11th. CLO members will have one week to reply with additional concerns or questions. We will ask each CLO member to indicate the intention of their institution to participate in the proposed model by March 18th. |

It is possible but not encouraged for some colleges to opt for a P2P model while others go with an FN. This is an arrangement that is physically possible in Alma but will require a great deal more time and effort to configure. It would delay implementation if this were the choice of the colleges. |

Digital lending can be supported in the P2P model through the creation of digitization requests and Alma’s Document Delivery window. Once the files are added Alma verifies the sending parameters based on the digitization and copyright rules. Specific terms for digital terms of use can be configured and attached to the borrower request. Files can be delivered directly to the patron’s e-mail address or through staff mediation. | ||
