October 26, 2012 – (Denver CO) – The open access journal, Collaborative Librarianship, (eISSN: 1943-7528) has published the 3rd issue of Volume 4. Scholarly (peer reviewed) articles cover post cancellation entitlement issues related to the JISC Collections in the United Kingdom, and e-book workflow and access processes at a large academic library. A “From the Field” report discusses data-based analyses of an expanded interlibrary loan system. This issue introduces a new columnist, consultant Lori Ayre with The Galecia Group, who explores library computing and technology issues. One review covers a new book on international students and academic libraries, and another explores the open access digital resource, “World Digital Library.” Co-General Editor, Valerie Horton, has recently been appointed Director of Minitex, the large library consortium serving the northern Midwest USA. Congratulations to Valerie. She remains Co-General Editor.
