Each library has a bin where they place items packaged in bags or envelopes, each marked with the name of the library it's going to. The courier picks up the bin at each stop and sorts the already labelled packages according to where they are going. For example, if you are after me on the delivery route, if I put an item in the delivery for you, you'll get it the same day. If your stop is before mine, the item I send you will reach you the next day. Our members are very happy with our delivery. It's been in place for many years, and to date we've never lost an item!

I am writing to ask you to tell me what you know about this including what you do and what you know others do. Specifically, I'd like to know if your consortium includes interlibrary delivery among its services to members and if so, whether that is a service that members have to pay extra for (or which you've figured into the membership fee in some way). I'm also interested in how you do cost sharing if you charge your libraries for delivery - what is your strategy? And if you have information about actual costs versus what you charge consortia members, that would be very useful too. Please call me at (707) 763-6869 or send me an email with your info (or email me to call you for info) so I can start collecting this data. If you're willing to share the information but would like to remain anonymous, just let me know. I'll share the article with people on the list, when it is complete.
