Introduced in August 2018, the Interlibrary Loan Round Table in Vermont includes librarians from public, school, and academic libraries. The group meets quarterly to discuss issues relating to interlibrary loan and to work together to highlight the importance of this service in the state. Within the first year, the group created a best practices list for interlibrary loan, and customizable posters to promote interlibrary loan services. They have also revised the Vermont Interlibrary Loan Code to be in line with current statewide resources and the most recent USA Interlibrary Loan Code.
The group will meet every February, May, August, and November. All meetings will be held online via Teams except the August meeting which will be held in-person every year.
Upcoming Meetings:
February 2025
