Share Your Stuff

 What: Poster Session: Share Your Stuff, statewide ILL and rapid delivery

When: Wednesday, April 8, 10:00-4:30, CULS Pre-Conference

Where: TLA Conference, Nashville Airport Marriott, Chattanooga Room

 Share Your Stuff is Tenn-Share’s new initiative to create a truly statewide catalog with a guarantee of rapid materials delivery. States all around us have this; several regions in our state have this; now it’s time for us to take it and make it state wide. Current economic times demand it!

What’s in place now:

·       Project Athena           

·       InfoToGo:

·       East Tennessee’s Shared Millennium Catalog

What will make this happen:

Tenn-Share will apply for a planning grant to enable a “Working Group” to meet and work out details:

·       One-step searching: first within the region, then the state?     

·       Patron-initiated ordering: how to determine qualified borrowers?

·       Delivery options: to local library, patron home?

·       Who pays for all this?

WorldCat/WorldCat Local/WorldCat Resource Sharing could be the key.

Come be a part of it!
