The Challenge
In today's rapidly changing climate, acquiring, building and maintaining collections to support your academic environment can be daunting and risky. With so many areas of study and burgeoning fields of expertise, your student population needs anytime, anywhere access to an ever expanding, changing, and always current resource.

The Problem

• Building, maintaining and refreshing collections to encompass the variety of subject areas can easily exceed tight library budgets, forcing a constraint on book acquisitions severely restricting the depth and breadth of collection coverage.
• Having to limit and, therefore, select the 'right' titles for your library collections from the thousands that are available unavoidably restricts subject coverage and overlooks the needs of some of your patron population.
• Predicting your collection's shelf life by monitoring currency and obsolescence is time-consuming, unending and unrealistic.
• Keeping titles on the shelves and readily available requires multiple copy purchases.
• Ensuring your students have access whenever they need it can mean extending the library's hours of service.
• Integrating new solutions into existing ones is costly and time-consuming.
