Mark your calendar for meeting at ALA midwinter

If you’re going to ALA midwinter, the ASCLA ICAN’s Physical Delivery Round Table is now scheduled.

1/13/2008 Sunday 08:00 am - 10:00 am MARRIOT Philadelphia Room 305

“Explore best practices related to the physical delivery of materials between libraries and delivery directly to patrons. Our goal is to increase and improve high volume, low cost delivery options to libraries. We’ll discuss best practices related to physical delivery, including in-house trucking systems, contracting with courier companies and using national services like UPS or Fed Express. Question: do we want to do an IMLS grant to explore linking existing courier systems?”
