- W1500113994 abstract "Introduction In January 2000 OCLC issued a press release (www.oclc.org/oclc/press/20000121.htm) saying that they had agreed to begin a pilot project with the Big 12 Plus Libraries. The project is designed to test the utility of a library user-initiated, web-based interlibrary loan service in a large consortium environment. The service would allow library users to search bibliographic records and request library materials directly using a web interface. In the fall of 1998, I lived in Germany and researched their document delivery systems, both at an individual university and in a consortium environment. I came away with the conclusion that it was a very successful system, one that was patron-based and simple to use. Patrons can order what they want without going into a library, communicate that request by any method of transmission possible, receive the item quickly, and have it delivered right to their home or business. Web-based ordering is a large part of the delivery system, and is growing exponentially. I will begin by describing the university library I visited in Tubingen, Germany, then outline the four types of document delivery services provided, and end with some comments on issues that might be worthy of consideration by libraries in the United States as we embark on projects such as those at the Big 12 Plus Libraries. Universitatsbibliothek Tubingen One of the oldest universities in Europe, Eberhard-Karls-Universitat in Tubingen, Germany was founded in 1477. The library was begun at the same time, although its services were only available to professors and scholars. Gradually its role changed to a central library for all constituencies of the university and the town of Tubingen. The library survived World War II without damage, and in contrast to other German libraries has a large collection of both new and old (often rare) books. Today the main library holds over 3 million volumes and subscribes to over 10,000 current journals. Additionally there are over thirty branch/departmental libraries, some quite substantial, which are not included in these figures. Like other institutions, Tubingen has a defined role in Germany's cooperative collection development program. The federal Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) (www.dfg.de/) began a collecting program for Germany in the 1920s. This program of Special Collections is commonly referred to as the SSG-S (Sondersammelgebietsforderung) and allotted subject collecting responsibilities to certain universities, usually based on the original strength of their collections. Tubingen's areas have traditionally been: Religious Studies, Theology, South Asia/Indology, the Ancient Near East, and Medieval/Modern Middle East. In 1969 a new collecting area was added, Criminology. Tubingen's collecting strengths are widely recognized in Germany and elsewhere. For example, Tubingen's collection in Theology and Religious Studies numbers over 500,000 volumes, second only to the collection at the Library of Congress. Although the SSG-S program was temporarily halted during World War II, it began again after the war since so many books in Germany had been destroyed. There was also an increased recognition that not every library could collect everything. The SSG-S program started up again in Bonn in 1949, and today there are over one hundred subjects areas covered by the program. Since reunification a special effort has been made once again to include the former East German libraries. Each library is responsible for comprehensive collection development in its SSG-S subject area, including serials, special conference proceedings, and even ephemeral literature. Each is also responsible for the processing and housing of the volumes within its SSG-S collecting area. The German government funds the SSG-S acquisition program. Typically, for example at Tubingen, 75 percent of the monies are federal while 25 percent come from the university. …" @default.
