A. AGent Resource Sharing, ArticleReach, and RAPID: User-Initiated and Mediated Resource Sharing Services Sharing Services

This is a combined presentation. Focus will be on three products: AGent Resource Sharing, ArticleReach, and RAPID.

Take a look at ArticleReach, a system that allows patrons to initiate requests from an OpenURL-enabled database or their college or university's online catalog. Come and find out how ArticleReach, a III product, allows users to request articles completely unmediated and have them delivered in electronic form much more quickly than with traditional interlibrary loan.

Come hear Mary Jackson explore how vendors now offer products that support both mediated and user-initiated resource sharing models. In addition, this presentation will touch on the standards that support both service models. Jackson will use AGent Resource Sharing as an example of a product that supports both service models, one that does not require librarians to purchase and support multiple resource sharing products.

A representative from Colorado State University will talk about the Rapid Access Processing & Information Delivery system (RAPID), a fast, cost-effective, innovative resource sharing system. RAPID is a unique system created by Interlibrary Loan staff for Interlibrary Loan staff. Comprised of hardware, software, and a relational database, RAPID is predicated on a 24-hour turnaround time service commitment by all participants.

B. The Montana Project: Home Delivery Beta Test

OCLC is testing a new service that will facilitate requests for library materials across disparate library system platforms and will interact with different circulation systems. The service will also test the optional delivery of requested library items directly to users at their homes or offices. Hear about the project from OCLC and feedback from a test site user.

Jennifer Pearson has been with OCLC for 4 years. She came to OCLC as Product Support Specialist for Group Services, progressed to Product Manager of Group Catalogs, and Product Manager of Consortia Services. Currently she works for a new division of OCLC called Global Market Solutions. Jennifer came to OCLC from Ingram Library Services (a division of Ingram Book Co.) where she served as Manager of Cataloging Services. She was discovered as a cataloging prodigy by a supervisor at Ole Miss Law Library when working as student worker. She adds, "Consequently, I was allowed to input and update OCLC records while having no previous cataloging experience, much less an MLS. So-WorldCat is probably not as pristine as we'd all like to think." She grew up next door to William Faulkner's house- which may have had some influence on her future career choices.

Sarah McHugh is the Statewide Projects Librarian at the Montana State Library. Sarah moved to the newly created position following seven years as Director of the Montana Shared Catalog, a consortium of 82 multi-type libraries.
