This article is about public colleges and
universities across Florida using new technology to share books, journals and
other educational resources. It talks about how Florida legislature provided
$1.5 million dollars to implement this new system. This new system will connect over 40 college
and university libraries and allow libraries to manage their work within one
system from any device.
“A new
responsive website design will allow students to access material from any
device, anywhere and anytime. New features for librarians will improve the
ability to find, track and share material, process new acquisitions, and
analyze usage.”
This article was an
interesting read because I am aware of interlibrary loans but unaware there was
a system that will connect multiple libraries. I believe it would be
interesting to see once the system is up and running. I am also interested at
the analysis it’s capable of giving. Colleges and universities are rich with different
collection, so to see it all in one system is amazing.
