Location: Laurel CDLinks to recorded presentations were removed from Sched on June 15. All registered attendees have received an email with direct links for access. Recordings will remain available only for registered attendees until they are released to the public on NASIG's YouTube channel, after an embargo.Library service disruptions and location closures brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic presented a conundrum for libraries who had to grapple with shutdowns while trying to reimagine services that could continue to be provided in an online realm. This resulted in University of California Berkeley Library along with other University of California campus libraries providing UC faculty, students, and staff with digital versions of our collective, in-copyright print holdings that overlapped with the HathiTrust Digital Library through the HathiTrust Emergency Temporary Access Service (ETAS) . Based on HathiTrust’s fair use analysis and the principles of controlled digital lending (CDL/CoDiLe) ETAS significantly enabled students, scholars, and faculty to continue their research, learning, and teaching under the remote environment. During the 17 months of ETAS access, there were over 100,000 online check-outs by UC Berkeley users.
In addition, ETAS proved to be a key resource for remote learning and teaching. During the Fall 2020 and Spring 2021 semesters, Berkeley Library spent over 3,600 hours digitizing 1,700+ books for course reading materials. Those digitized books were accessible via ETAS to all libraries that were members of HathiTrust, nationally and internationally, and they represent more than 50% of the total digital books that the Library provided for all the course reading materials via our course eReserve program.
Because of the huge success with ETAS access, since the return to campus in August 2021, UC Berkeley library continued to provide digitized books for course reading materials via UC BEARS (Berkeley Electronic and Accessible Reserves System) platform, a type of controlled digital lending platform developed in-house and open source by UC Berkeley Library IT. For the Fall 2021 semesters alone, there were almost 10,000 loans from the UC Bears platform,.
This presentation will provide insights into the two CoDiLe platforms from the perspective of digitization processes and workflows, service implementation and impact, content usage and user experiences. The presenters will also share implications of continuing using the CoDiLe platforms to support teaching, learning and research under both remote and in-person environments.
