The NCC Interlibrary Loan and Document Delivery (ILL-DD) Committee would like to announce that, effective February 21st, we have decided to change our name to the "Resource Sharing Committee" to better reflect the committee’s function.
During the past few years, the Committee has been working on information sessions for the Digitized Contents Transmission Service for Libraries provided by the National Diet Library in Japan. However, this service does not technically belong to either Interlibrary Loan or Document Delivery and we are afraid that the name “ILL-DD Committee” may cause confusion to those who are not familiar with the service or the committee. It was also discussed that the phrases such as “Interlibrary Loan” or “Document Delivery” may not be widely understood by the general public outside our community.
We believe that our new name, Resource Sharing Committee, will more effectively communicate the raison d'être and activities of the committee. This name change will be soon reflected on our website and will always be used moving forward in subsequent communications.
We would like to thank those who have been involved in this process. The new committee welcome any questions or concerns regarding the new name change.
Sincerely,
Tsuyoshi Harada
Chair, Resource Sharing Committee, NCC
