• Enhancement of existing collaboration
• Demonstration of cross-sectoral collaboration
• Development of collection level profiles
Z39.50 common knowledge
• Search discrepancies– attributes
• Certainly not plug and play– server response diversity
• Results in lowest common denominator search
Z39.50 common knowledge II
• Reports on the web:

– <http://www.nlc-bnc.ca/resource/vcuc/ezarl2.htm>
Access and authentication
• Free access; but authentication for ‘value-added’ services
• RIDING Access Policy
• Gateway authentication impractical
• Different ATHENS3 implementations across consortium members
Inter-Library Loans
• User eligibility
• Holdings information, particularly for distributed library services
• Links between RIDING and existing ILL systems
• BLDSC
Interface design
• Choice of targets– Collection level descriptions
• Display of hits from multiple targets– variable server response rates
• Incorporation of textual information (e.g. access policy)
• Linking to existing Web pages
Where do we go from here?
• Operational service from February 1999
• Evaluation, particularly end-user reactions
• Inter-clumping
Where do we go from here?
• Operational service from February 1999
• Evaluation, particularly end-user reactions
• Inter-clumping
• A broader vehicle within the YHUA
• Document delivery/direct end-user charging
What did RIDING ever do for us?
• Co-operation and working together for the common good
• Preparation of an access policy across the region
• Exploring pro-active interlending
• Continuing good relations with BLDSC
• Exploring cross-sectoral links
