Access Strategy at UIUC

The Access Strategy Team was created in Fall 2004 by the Library's Budget Implementation Task Force and charged with 1) recommending an implementation strategy for WebFeat and SFX, and 2) examining the existing organizational structure for providing intellectual access to the Library’s collections and resources in all formats and recommending a new infrastructure better suited to the evolving information environment.

The Access Strategy Team appointed the Federated Search Pilot Project Implementation Team (the Feds) and the OpenURL Link Resolver Implementation Team (OLRIT) to oversee the implementations of WebFeat and SFX, respectively. Both the Feds and OLRIT are currently working on their assigned tasks.

To fulfill the second component of its charge, the Access Strategy Team delivered a report to University Librarian Paula Kaufman in early March 2005 containing several recommendations for restructuring content access policy and organization in the Library.

Those interested in more detailed information can review the team's charge and report.   Comments on the report from the Cataloging Policy Committee are also available.
