1 What is arbitration?

Arbitration is a form of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) that allows parties to submit their conflict to an arbitrator, who is a person with expertise or authority in the relevant field, and who can make a final and enforceable decision based on the evidence and arguments presented by the parties. Unlike litigation, arbitration is usually faster, cheaper, more flexible, and more confidential, as the parties can choose the arbitrator, the rules, the location, and the level of disclosure of the outcome. However, arbitration also has some drawbacks, such as the limited scope for appeal, the potential bias of the arbitrator, and the lack of transparency and accountability.

Arbitration provides that both parties agree to submit the resolution of their dispute through arbitration. Thus the scope and extent of the arbitration process is subject to parties agreement.

2 How does arbitration work in library services?

Arbitration can be used to resolve various types of conflicts in library services, such as disputes between libraries and vendors, publishers, patrons, staff, or other stakeholders. The parties may agree to use arbitration before or after the conflict arises, by signing a contract or a submission agreement that specifies the terms and conditions of the arbitration process. The parties may also choose whether to use an institutional arbitration service, such as the American Library Association (ALA) or the American Arbitration Association (AAA), or an ad hoc arbitration process, where they select and appoint their own arbitrator. The arbitrator then conducts a hearing, where the parties can present their evidence and arguments, either in person or online, and then issues a written award, which is binding and enforceable by law.

3 What are the benefits of arbitration in library services?

Arbitration can offer several advantages for resolving disputes in library services, such as saving time and money, preserving relationships, maintaining control, and enhancing quality. Arbitration can be faster and cheaper than going to court, as it avoids the delays, fees, and formalities of the judicial system. Furthermore, it can be less adversarial and more cooperative than litigation, as it encourages the parties to communicate and negotiate in good faith. Additionally, arbitration gives the parties more control over the process and the outcome by allowing them to choose the arbitrator, the rules, the location, and the level of confidentiality. Finally, arbitration can ensure a high-quality decision is made by having an expert or leader in library services understand the issues and apply relevant standards and best practices.

Additionally, they may be exposed to risks like the arbitrator's bias, error, or misconduct. Furthermore, it can reduce the transparency and accountability of the process and outcome as parties may not disclose details or reasons of the arbitration. Lastly, the arbitrator may not follow rules or law.
