[Digital Library] updates from the ECC Executive Committee

Wed Mar 18 11:44:17 CDT 2020

Will/can a banner be put on website and on app about temporary increases?

I can see how many more checkouts/holds I can when I’m in my account on website. But don’t see in Libby.

Thanks

Hi Cathy,

The hold and checkout limits for the consortium have been changed to 10 and are now in effect for users.

We will look into Duke Classics and get back to you.

Best wishes,
Maggie Thomann
Secretary, Electronic Content Consortium/Digital Library of Illinois

May I ask when the increase in limits will be in effect? I do not want to publicize until working.

Also, an Overdrive blog mentioned free Duke Classics. Does anyone know about this program. I tried to implement but my order never went through. Maybe it needs to be turned on at the consortium level?

I have written Daiva but haven't heard back.

Thank you, Cathy

Subject: [Digital Library] updates from the ECC Executive Committee

We hope that this email finds everyone safe and healthy. The ECC Executive Committee wanted to share some updates and next steps that we are working on in response to changes in services that many of our member libraries are making to better serve our patrons during this unprecedented situation, and to ensure that the Digital Library of Illinois consortium can respond to a potential increase in patron demand and stay up-to-date on publishers' responses to the COVID-19 crisis.

  *   We have temporarily raised the hold and checkout limits for the consortium to 10. We will monitor the impact over the next few weeks and make changes as the situation warrants.
  *   We will be monitoring and expediting holds orders for the consortium, including purchasing additional copies of popular Macmillan titles to fill holds once they are available for purchase.
  *   We encourage member libraries to consider turning on Advantage Plus sharing, if you haven't already.
  *   We are postponing discussion and voting on bylaw changes until further notice.
We will continue to share news about publisher changes and free/low cost resources available to libraries.

We will make every effort to respond to questions and concerns from member libraries as we navigate through uncharted territory. Like you, we are all dealing with the impact of COVID-19 in our own libraries, so please be patient if we are not able to get back to you right away.

Stay safe and healthy.
