Collection Creator Biography:

Ivy Plus Libraries Confederation

The Ivy Plus Libraries Confederation is a consortium of 13 academic libraries including Brown University, the University of Chicago, Columbia University, Cornell University, Dartmouth College, Duke University, Harvard University, Johns Hopkins University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the University of Pennsylvania, Princeton University, Stanford University, and Yale University. The partnership began in 1999 when Columbia, Penn, and Yale launched CoPY, a resource-sharing partnership and predecessor to Borrow Direct. Borrow Direct, an interlibrary loan service and resource sharing partnership, became official in 2002 with the addition of Brown, Cornell, Dartmouth, and Princeton. The program grew to include the other 6 members over the next 14 years, with the final addition of Stanford in 2016. In 2009, Peter Collins was appointed Project Manager for Borrow Direct. In 2014, the partnership was renamed the Ivy Plus Libraries, with Borrow Direct remaining one of the partnership's key initiatives. At this point, an Ivy Plus Libraries Collection Development Group was established and charged with leading collaborative collection-building efforts.

In 2016, the Collection Development group, headed by Galadriel Chilton, began the Ivy Plus Libraries Web Collecting Program, based on a pilot program managed by Anna Perricci. The Web Collecting Program is a collaborative collection development program that curates thematic collections of available but at-risk web content that will support research at the partnering institutions and international research community. In 2017, Samantha Abrams was appointed the Ivy Plus Web Collections Librarian and was charged with heading this program. The same year, Heidi Nance was appointed Director of Resource Sharing Initiatives.

In 2017, the partnership was renamed the Ivy Plus Libraries Confederation (IPLC), and three strategic priorities were identified: Borrow Direct improvements, Collaborative Collection Development, and Collective Leadership and Advocacy in Scholarly Communication. As of 2019, the Borrow Direct Program operations and administration moved from Penn to Princeton.
