Abstract
Scientific Libraries of Italian
National Research Council are structures with experience and challenges in the
area of interlending and document delivery that have relevance for both
internal and external users. The Libraries located in Potenza (a little town in
the south of Italy) and Genova (a big town in the north west of Italy) operates
in a research environment that is committed to ensuring effective satisfaction
for researchers, students, professors, employers to access the world of
information.
Through the Web, users can
retrieve the research information they need from any location in 24 hours a
day, seven days a week. Although Web-based resources are very conveniently for
researchers, the library located in Potenza and Genova decided to storage a
large number of full-text journals for in-house needs and they develop a
similar in-house digital library.
This paper investigates an
understanding of collections, electronic access, user expectations and
resources sharing necessary to meet the information needs of library users. The
Potenza and Genova Scientific Libraries are committed to provide access to
library resources through facilitating Document Delivery and they emploies both
professional strategies and the librarian opportunities opened up by new
technologies working in partnership with other organizations to menage a
resource sharing cooperation structure. |
