Track Title
Information Technology
Event Description/Abstract
Indiana LTAP currently has a lending library containing resources in various formats such as paper, CD, DVD, and VHS tape. The client searches and orders resources through the LTAP website using a custom web application. When an order is submitted, LTAP receives an e-mail and the librarian processes the request. This presentation describes an initiative developed and implemented by Indiana LTAP to provide uncopyrighted resources in an electronic format for online searching, viewing, or download with the outcomes of reducing physical library space while providing online access to these digital resources. This presentation will help local agencies understand how to implement a digital system for their physical resources while using existing IT resources
