ReCAP SCSB (Shared Collection Service Bus)

Nov 30, 2023

 

The ReCAP Shared Collections include materials each partner commits to manage according to agreed shared collection policies, including retention in perpetuity, for the use of all partners; these materials are general collections, consisting primarily of print monographs and serials. A single copy is committed for retention across the partnership.

The SCSB application manages interactions between ReCAP’s and Harvard Depository’s inventory management systems (GFA LAS), and the partner libraries’ library service platforms and online catalogs. This enables users at partner libraries to discover and request Shared Collection items directly from their home institution’s catalog and enables library staff to manage and track usage.
