VIVA Resource Sharing Committee

The Resource Sharing Committee (RSC) is charged with supporting an equitable, accessible, and robust infrastructure of library resources and services for Virginia higher education. The RSC achieves its goals by:

    • Developing and recommending policies, technologies, and related resource sharing services to the Steering Committee;
    • Sharing best practices related to borrowing and lending of individually owned resources at VIVA member institutions;
    • Maintaining interlibrary loan statistics across the consortium;
    • Investigating cost-effective, consortial solutions to best leverage Virginia’s resources;
    • Providing professional development throughout the year in support of resource sharing;
    • Acting as a forward-thinking body that monitors innovation and is responsive to the changing landscape of resource sharing in higher education.

The ILL Forum Planning Committee, a subcommittee chaired by the RSC Vice-Chair, organizes and convenes an annual ILL Community Forum. 

Composition: Ten members selected by the directors of their representative group. Representation should include four public doctoral and two members from each additional type of school: public comprehensive, public 2-year, and independent college or university.

More information is available in VIVA's Organizational Plan.
