Discussion topics will include approaches to creating and supporting a CDL community of practice. All are welcomed to attend. Registration is required in order to receive the Zoom information.
CDLI was established in April 2020 by a group of collaborating libraries, consortia, software developers, and resource sharing leaders with a shared goal of implementing controlled digital lending services within their respective communities.
Join Kristina Rose of New York University and Sebastian Hammer of Index Data as they present an innovation session, “Recognizing opportunity: A path forward for controlled digital lending,” at The Charleston Conference on Thursday, November 5, 2020 at 5:20 Eastern Daylight Time.
The presentation will introduce the concept of CDL and explore the viability of its implementation in libraries in terms of risk tolerance and integration into existing workflows. It will describe the work being done by Project ReShare to create a minimum viable product for controlled digital lending, including workflow models, prototypes, and early software demonstrations. Finally, it will explore a long-term vision for CDL in libraries, including consortial CDL models and the establishment of a CDL Implementor’s group to promote collaboration, best practices modeling, and systems interoperability.
