In 2023, an appointed team of cross-functional experts in the Big Ten Academic Alliance (BTAA) sought to realign the consortium’s resource sharing policies in support of seamless collection access and, most importantly, to provide a consistent user experience for all Big Ten users. The team crafted a new resource sharing agreement that committed the BTAA’s 15 member libraries to treating all Big Ten users as their own with interlibrary loan access to general and special physical collections, digitized material, and electronic collections regardless of format or location.

In this session, we’ll talk about the creation and composition of the new BTAA Resource Sharing Agreement that breaks down barriers to access and the new Big Ten Scanning Standards that serve as a model for others. We’ll also explain how Big Ten ILL coordinators worked with public and technical services, collection managers, and leadership within their libraries to maximize collaboration and implement the newly harmonized BTAA resource sharing policies.
