Moving from 'Building Collections' to 'Ensuring Access' 
 
In the current environment of electronic information, the model of ownership of resources has changed to one of access. As a result, academic libraries like Drexel's no longer build physical collections but instead provide access to resources through a combination of licensing, purchasing and resource sharing.
 
 
This month, Lynda Sadusky talks about resource sharing - particularly interlibrary loan - and how her team supports Drexel students, faculty and staff.
