ASERL Resource Sharing Friends: During the past week I’ve talked with some of you about a proposal that is floating around: Libraries would agree to accept items from students living nearby and return the items to the students’
‘home’ institutions as a courtesy service. After much debate by ILL librarians and the ASERL Board, the Board decided not to support this proposal. ASERL will
not be asking our libraries to undertake this effort under the ASERL banner, due to unknown costs, re-opening schedules, and other complexities. Please undertake plans to retrieve items from your students and faculty according to your needs. My thanks to everyone who contributed to the debate about the merits of this idea. Your constructive feedback is welcome. Take care and stay safe. --jeb John Burger, Executive Director Association of Southeastern Research Libraries (ASERL) c/o Robert W.
