The Boston Library Consortium, Inc., a non-profit organization, has been awarded a $249,221 Project Grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services under the National Leadership Grants (CFDA 45.312) program. The 2-year project, beginning August 1, 2023, aims to: 1) improve and promote access to library collections for teaching and learning; 2) develop new interoperable technologies to facilitate digital loans of print materials; 3) create best practices to mitigate legal risks; and 4) design sustainable workflow and staffing solutions to support controlled digital lending as a component of libraries' interlibrary loan services. The project will create and disseminate practical guidance, knowledge, and tools to assist libraries and consortia in implementing controlled digital lending at scale.
