Extractions: What are the characteristics of ILL/DD operations in the ten libraries with the lowest unit costs, the ten with the highest fill rates, or the ten with the fastest turnaround times? How do these high-performing operations differ from the other research library participants? High-Performing Borrowing Operations Nineteen other research libraries ranked in the top ten for a single borrowing performance measure. Thus, a total of 25 research libraries ranked in the top ten for one or more borrowing performance measures. These high-performing borrowing operations share a number of characteristics. User-Initiated Ordering A majority of the top-performing borrowing operations offer electronic user-initiated ordering, either via statewide systems such as OhioLINK or through locally-developed electronic order forms. Systems that pass electronic patron request forms directly to the potential lender or into national messaging systems eliminate the need for ILL staff involvement in these initial steps of the borrowing process. Staff costs represent two-thirds of the borrowing unit cost, so by increasing user-initiated ordering staff costs are lessened and the borrowing unit cost is thus lowered. Maximizing Technology Many of the high-performing borrowing operations use a single ILL messaging system. Workflow and procedures are streamlined when only one system is used, resulting in faster turnaround time and lower unit costs.

GIS in Libraries: An Overview of Concepts and Concerns David Deckelbaum ddeckelb@library.ucla.edu This article describes what a GIS is and its implications for incorporation into a library environment. It raises a variety of questions regarding staffing needs, choice of a GIS product or array of products, and the level of service that will be provided that need to be answered before deciding to make GIS available in your library. Any relational database allows for queries to determine what records in a dataset meet criteria decided upon by a user. That is, an individual can run a query that uses particular parameters that must be met in order to be included in a subset of the original dataset. Spatial queries allow an operator to select one or more features (individual records in a dataset) in a given theme or layer of information by using the features of another theme. This process allows for a resolution of issues like proximity, containment, and adjacency. Questions like the following might be answered by a spatial query: What communities does a particular freeway pass through? How many nesting sites are within a breeding area? Which privately owned parcels are adjacent to county parklands? Where are the instances of the outbreak of a particular disease caused by airborne agents that are within a mile of manufacturing plants storing toxic materials?
Extractions: The 1998 ALA Midwinter Meeting in New Orleans, LA marks the beginning of the five year anniversary of the Association of Research Libraries' (ARL) North American Interlibrary Loan and Document Delivery (NAILDD) Project At the beginning of 1998, over 70 for-profit and not-for-profit organizations and project participate in the NAILDD Project's Developers/Implementors Group (DIG) and/or the ILL Protocol Implementors Group (IPIG). The DIG is the vehicle by which the NAILDD Project seeks to facilitate collaboration between libraries and a broad constituency of private sector organizations. The DIG is an effort on ARL's part to be proactive consumers. The DIG serves as a forum in which to communicate the library needs to the vendors who could potentially offer these services. ARL seeks a healthy competition in the ILL/DD marketplace and thus encourages all vendors to participate. The IPIG was formed in late 1995 to expedite implementation of the international standard for ILL communication. This status report highlights and salutes the responsiveness of some of the more active DIG and IPIG members to the NAILDD Project's technical priorities. The sustained commitment of these organizations and the resources invested to achieve the Project's goals are recognized as key contributions to the future success of library programs and services.

Extractions: Characteristics of an ARL Membership-based Resource Sharing Program "To make access to research resources more efficient and effective" is the second of the Association of Research Libraries' seven strategic program objectives. Attainment of this objective "will help make existing systems and those systems that will be developed more efficient and cost effective." ARL's Committee on Access to Information Resources is charged with carrying out this objective. The Access Committee in 1991 prepared and discussed with the ARL membership a white paper, "The Evolution of Electronic Resource Sharing." From that ensuing discussion, the Committee identified three priority activities, one of which is:
