Do not forget that we will be involved in this study.

Dear Colleagues-

 

Please see the e-mail below from Amanda Wilson discussing the current status of the Resource Sharing Pilot Project.

 

I told Amanda that I'd check to see if anybody has any questions at this point, and to see if there's anything I can help you prepare for the Sept. 1 "live" date.

 

Please look at this link: http://ntl.bts.gov/networking/TKN_ILL_Guidelines.html

 

Do you have any questions...concerns...thoughts?

 

In preparation for this project, many of you have been participating in a series of "how-to" webinars hosted by OCLC.  We just completed the first two (overview of resource sharing, and how to borrow) but there are two more workshops (how to loan, and follow up questions).  Hope you will consider joining us.

 

See the attached document for details on how to register.

 

Again, please let me know if there's anything I can do to help you...or just to let me know how your summer is going!

Subject: National TKN ILL Resource Sharing project -- update #2

Dear Colleagues,

 

I am sorry I did not get back to you last week – I was out sick most of the week. This page http://ntl.bts.gov/networking/TKN_ILL_Guidelines.html will take you to information about the project, guidelines for borrowing and lending, the ILL request form for those libraries that are not using OCLC for resource sharing, and the metrics we hope to collect from each library.

 

Please let me know if you have any comments on the above.

 

The proposed start date is still 1 September 2008. Funding discussions and activity continues…

 

Best regards,

Amanda

Subject: National TKN ILL Resource Sharing project -- update

 

Dear Colleagues,

 

Thank you for participating in the first collaborative project of the regional TKNs! This is the first step toward a true National Transportation Knowledge Network project – we should all be proud. Our community has already demonstrated a strong commitment to collaboration and support to provide the best services for our users; this project will help us tell that story.

 

I would like to send a special thanks to the Transportation Library Connectivity Pooled Fund Study members and staff who have provided funding to make this pilot project happen.

 

Also, thank you to each of the TKN chairs for their considerable contributions to this project.

 

Just a few updates on the project status:

1. Our advertised start date for this project was today, 1 August 2008, but we’ve experienced a delay in getting funding. We hope to have everything in place by no later than 1 September 2008 – please stay tuned.

 

2. NTL has a new web page for this project containing basic guidelines and outlining the eight (8) metrics we will be collecting for this project. I will send the URL to you next week (we’re tweaking the content from comments from the TKN chairs). The point is to collect information on how much resource sharing is happening between TKN libraries, document methods we use to exchange information (electronic delivery vs. hard copy exchange), and examine reasons why requests go unfilled.

 

3. For those not using OCLC for ILL: NTL has developed an ILL request web form that will email your request to your selected lending library.

 

4. How the defrayed cost shipping works: you will be given a FedEx account number to use when shipping or returning items to other TKN libraries.

 

Again, the project site I will send next week provides further information on the ILL form, guidelines and metrics. If you have any questions about what’s there or the project, please don’t hesitate to contact your TKN chair or me.

 

Happy Friday,

Amanda
