Software Implementation All the kids are doing it You know, its
just called Peer-2-Peer software
Slide 48
Implementation = Acceptance PoliticsBuy-in and approval from
our member libraries Alliance and MOBIUS Directors and ILS
Coordinators meet to discuss basic policy & procedures between
the consortiums Our relationshipcontract? Membership dues?
Slide 49
Implementation = Acceptance Well Established and Different
Systems + Well Established and Different Models of Doing Things +
Well Established and Different Courier Models + Well Established
and Different Ways in Which We All Handle Materials = Loads of
Fun!
Slide 50
Implementation BluesWhy Cant You Be Just More Like ME? (Or Me
Like You?) We agree to accept each other and each of our unique
policies 2 renewals vs. 1? Really? Do we collect money or not? What
about non-bibliographic material? How does stuff get there? How do
we get it back? Do we form a committee?
Slide 51
Peer-2-Peer? Double the Fun! Synchronized settings that are
reflected everywherePTYPES, ITYPES, Loan Rules, etc Shared codes of
all types on each INN-Reach server Now please do this on 40+
servers for nearly 200 librariesall the while not taking either
system down to do it! MOBIUS manages 11 clusters plus INN-Reach
nearly everyone in Missouri with a few notable exceptions The
Colorado Alliance manages their INN-Reach system everyone else is
locally managed Project Management--Basecamp
Slide 52
Ok, its time for the details! Circulation Issueslength of
checkout, renewals, timing of notices, billing & lost book
issues, blocks, number of items allowed for checkout, collections
available Design of pass-thru buttons on each others union catalogs
Joint publicity materials for our libraries Discussion lists,
ongoing communication between our libraries FAQs, policies,
procedures for our libraries
Slide 53
Implementation Package & Delivery Its this easy,
right?
Slide 54
Just Keep Truckin Different couriers in three states for
Colorado and Missouri Whats The Matter With Kansas? 5 day per week
service or less? Gas prices a variable Go Greyhound? Are you
kidding me? The drop-off point is where? But thats the easy part,
right? RIGHT! In a word, NO!
Slide 55
What goes IN the truck and how? Bags vs. Rubber Bands oh,
my
Slide 56
But Thats Not All Seriously, who knew book bands could be so
controversial? Obligatory photo of cute kittens to offset
controversial green book band
Slide 57
Membership Has Its Privileges - Bonus Extras Added Benefits of
Partnering include Center for Research Libraries E-Resources
Special Collections Extending Courier Across the Midwest
Slide 58
Implementation- Its All About the Results! In the first 7 weeks
we circulated almost 2,000 items (with little publicity)!
Slide 59
Implementation Lessons Learned Keep it Simple (but not too
simple) Better understand staff workflow at different sized
libraries Expect to compromise and prepare your libraries for the
inevitable Communicate frequently during your implementation phase
Dont rushremember those staff who need extra time to adapt Put a
personal face to the partnership for your members And remember.its
all about the courier & workflow!
Slide 60
Courier LessonsLearned Compromise is essential Involve the
circulation staff at your libraries as much as possible Establish
regular conference calls with the couriers and consortium offices
Test, test, test before going live Visit your couriers sorting
facilities to be clear about how shipments will be moved and
handled Constant Communication is essential Find a city that all
couriers already go to exchange materials, so you reduce costs
Negotiate a fair price based upon number of stops and weight (and
yes, since you are dealing with multiple couriers, you can create a
pricing war)
