[OPLINLIST] To clarify -- Attention ILL Types!

[Lynne Welch]

Hello all,

To expand on Nicole's invitation to consider the OLS: MORE 
resource-sharing option --

Herrick Memorial Library (Wellington - Lorain County) is a longstanding 
member of MORE
and is unable to participate in OCLC Resource Sharing because we 
couldn't afford to join
OCLC. This may become an issue for other libraries as well in the 
current economic climate.

If any small library interested in joining OLS: MORE has questions about 
the potential impact
on their daily workload or other facets of operations, please feel free 
to email or telephone me
directly and I'll be happy to discuss our experience.

Cordially,
Lynne Welch

You do need to be on US Cargo, agree to the Principles of Cooperation (http://library.ohio.gov/IT/MORE/Principles), and have a Z39.50 server and authentication service available. If your library is interested, send an email to olsmore at sloma.state.oh.us.
