Resource Sharing and WISCAT

Charles ClemenceResource Sharing ConsultantWinding Rivers Library System

Resource Sharing and WISCAT

• 40 Public Libraries/Branches (39 WISCAT members)

• 10 School Districts (11 WISCAT members)

• 3 Special Libraries (3 WISCAT members)

• 3 Academic Libraries (1 WISCAT, 1 ILLiad, 1 OCLC)

• All members handle their own requests

How WRLS Structures ILL: Borrowing

Enter requests• About half of our publics do patron initiated at some level

Manage requests• Updating

• Circulation

• Stats

Requests not filled from initial lender list default to WRLS

• Refer within WISCAT

• Send direct on OCLC (for libraries/formats that don't accept ISO)

• Send to RL&LL for OCLC referral via ISO connection

How WRLS Structures ILL:Lending

Members receive most lending request directly

• Exception-some non-WISCAT libraries email request to WRLS

• Exception-som reserves are handled by WRLS

Respond to all requests

• WRLS requires a 90% response minimum

Manage/update all loan requests (including notices)

• WRLS does some follow up on unreturned items

Update holdings in WISCAT

• WRLS requires annual updates or an active searchable catalog

ILL Activity in Winding Rivers

In 2011 WRLS member libraries

• Entered 32,161 borrowing requests

• Received 25,151 lending requestso Responded to over 99% of these requests

• Added 3 catalogs as search targets in WISCATo Expect to add 2 more in 2012

• All met the WRLS updating requirement

• Over half of WLRS members participate in out of state lending with other users of the AG software

Use of RL&LL services for ILL

RL&LL does the following for our members:

• Handle the set up of WISCATo Search targetso Default settings

• Troubleshoot the softwareo Solves many problems locallyo Refers others to be fixed by the vendor

• Represent Wisconsin/WISCAT at user group meetings

Use of RL&LL services for ILL

• Serve as secondary default location in WISCATo Refers requests within WISCATo Does follow up problem solving/training for WISCAT

members

• Manage the ISO connection to OCLC librarieso Allows borrowing requests to go automatically to

OCLC Requests stay in WISCAT from the lender's perspective

o Theoretically allows lending to ILLiad libraries Haven't made this connection work yet, but it's a goal

• Manage sharing with other AG customers (ISSI)

Why WISCAT?

• OCLC has long been seen as the gold standard for ILL Why maintain the WISCAT project?

• Clearly there are disadvantages to WISCATo Many Wisconsin Libraries don't participateo Most of state requesting requires OCLCo The WISCAT project uses a big chunk of LSTA

Funds

Why WISCAT?

Most of RL&LL's efforts in recent years have been to address these disadvantages

• The ISO connection with OCLC has made the issue of WISCAT membership much less importanto Requests can go direct to non-WISCAT libraries in and out of

Wisconsin

• Out of state requesting--through ISO or the ISSI project--can be done within WISCAT

• Reliance on LSTA has lessened somewhat, but in the end it's a subsidy. If small libraries need help to participate in ILL they'll need it for OCLC as well as WISCAT

WISCAT works for our members

• It's a cost they can afford

• Routine requests can be handled locally at even the smallest library (85% get filled by the initial lender list)

• Problem requests automatically go to a default location for specialists to work on

• Configuration, setup, and troubleshooting are done centrally

WISCAT works for our members

• Configuration, setup, and troubleshooting are done centrallyo WRLS sets up preferred lenders, defaults, displayo RL&LL sets up new targets, manages software

problems and changeso As a result, managing WISCAT at the local level is

doable for all our members

• The ability to search live catalogs ends the necessity of double updating

• Auto-responding saves much time for patrons and staff

Conclusion

• WISCAT works for our member libraries and their patrons better than current alternatives

• WISCAT wouldn't be possible without RL&LL

• We need to maintain the program until something better comes alongo Statewide ILS?o A new kind of ILL program?o Chips in our heads loaded with all the knowledge,

art, and literature of the world?
