In the light of both the COVID pandemic and lack of digital availability for several key resources, the Digital Theological Library (DTL), a co-owned library with participating institutions, wanted to quickly implement a Controlled Digital Lending (CDL) project, beginning in the fall of 2020. The DTL staff and partners examined a number of options, evaluating them on the basis of cost, user experience, time commitment, and ease of implementation. We decided to create our own system for CDL access, using inexpensive systems created for other purposes, but adaptable to the needs of CDL. This presentation will (1) explain the legal basis for CDL, (2) the advantages and disadvantages of CDL, (3) how the DTL implemented CDL quickly and cheaply, and (4) how other libraries can implement their own CDL program.
