Site Visits• Traveled to all nine TexNet Centers• Interviewed staff• Evaluated practice between
centers• Collected issues and concerns of
staff• Met with Regional System staff as
available
![Page 10: Texas Resource Sharing: Examining the Present, Envisioning a Vibrant Future A Research Study prepared by Bibliographical Center for Research January 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062619/5515ad9a550346486b8b60f3/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Site Visits—Conclusions
• Best Practices Strengths– Liberal Lending of Material Types– Reciprocity– Electronic Requesting for
Borrowing and Lending– Load Leveling– E-Resource Licensing for ILL Use– Free Loans
![Page 11: Texas Resource Sharing: Examining the Present, Envisioning a Vibrant Future A Research Study prepared by Bibliographical Center for Research January 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062619/5515ad9a550346486b8b60f3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Site Visits—Conclusions
• Best Practices Weaknesses– Collection Development– Union Listing– Response within 24 Hours– Electronic Article Delivery
![Page 12: Texas Resource Sharing: Examining the Present, Envisioning a Vibrant Future A Research Study prepared by Bibliographical Center for Research January 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062619/5515ad9a550346486b8b60f3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Time-Cost Study
• Data Collection– Tasks grouped by activity
type according to lending, borrowing, or administrative
– All staff members recorded time spend in a five day period
![Page 13: Texas Resource Sharing: Examining the Present, Envisioning a Vibrant Future A Research Study prepared by Bibliographical Center for Research January 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062619/5515ad9a550346486b8b60f3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Time-Cost Study—Conclusions
• TexNet Centers automation options are meeting demand of current traffic level
• TexNet Center time spent on work for local patron v. Area Library patrons is disproportionate
![Page 17: Texas Resource Sharing: Examining the Present, Envisioning a Vibrant Future A Research Study prepared by Bibliographical Center for Research January 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062619/5515ad9a550346486b8b60f3/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Directors’ Discussion• Most Important Issues
– Funding– Diverse Patron Needs– Well-trained Staff
• TexNet Service Essential to Area Libraries
• Elimination of TexNet Center Funding– Continue Local Paton Service– Possible Diminished Lending – Effect of Consolidation– More Information for Opinion on Bidding
![Page 18: Texas Resource Sharing: Examining the Present, Envisioning a Vibrant Future A Research Study prepared by Bibliographical Center for Research January 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062619/5515ad9a550346486b8b60f3/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

ILL Best Practices & Protocols
• Electronic requesting for lending and borrowing• Negotiate licenses for e-content which allow ILL
use• Collection development response to ILL demand• Union listing of serial holdings • Electronic delivery options• Load leveling to suppliers• Lending of all formats • Limiting barriers to lending (e.g. charging
borrowing fees)• Staff expertise and training expectations• Definitions of materials that should not be
requested through ILL

Part 2: Models for Change
![Page 27: Texas Resource Sharing: Examining the Present, Envisioning a Vibrant Future A Research Study prepared by Bibliographical Center for Research January 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062619/5515ad9a550346486b8b60f3/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model
obsolete.
-Richard Buckminster Fuller
![Page 28: Texas Resource Sharing: Examining the Present, Envisioning a Vibrant Future A Research Study prepared by Bibliographical Center for Research January 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062619/5515ad9a550346486b8b60f3/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Model Classification: Who does the work?
• Current model– TexNet Centers perform work
• Stand Alone Centralized ILL system or OCLC Services– ILL staff at libraries perform work
• Circulation based system– Patrons perform work– Circulation staff at libraries
perform work

by TX citizens– Relatively low annual
maintenance cost– Most cost effective– Requires little up front training– High fill rate

Model 6: Circulation-Based
• Costs– Significant upfront costs– Currently no easy OCLC referral
method – May require NCIP – slows
implementation– Cultural shift from “ILL” to patron self-
serve, unmediated
• Feasibility Score:14 – Highly Feasible

Part 3: Recommendations

If anything is certain, it is that change is certain.
The world we are planning for today will not exist in this form
tomorrow. -Philip Crosby

Goals for a Statewide Resource Sharing
Service• Patron-Centered• Unmediated Requesting• Maximized Use of Technology• Enhanced Reciprocity and
Visibility of Holdings• Flexibility
![Page 59: Texas Resource Sharing: Examining the Present, Envisioning a Vibrant Future A Research Study prepared by Bibliographical Center for Research January 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062619/5515ad9a550346486b8b60f3/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Goals for a Statewide Resource Sharing
Service• Shared Funding Responsibility• Builds ILL as Core Service• Values Training and Continuing
Education• Promotes Efficient Delivery
![Page 60: Texas Resource Sharing: Examining the Present, Envisioning a Vibrant Future A Research Study prepared by Bibliographical Center for Research January 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062619/5515ad9a550346486b8b60f3/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Recommendations
• Move to single TexNet Center– Significant savings achieved only
by reducing Centers from nine to one
– Reduces costs short term– Not viable long term due to
projected growth of resource sharing
![Page 61: Texas Resource Sharing: Examining the Present, Envisioning a Vibrant Future A Research Study prepared by Bibliographical Center for Research January 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062619/5515ad9a550346486b8b60f3/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Recommendations
• Implement pilots to test new models– Funded with savings from change in
TexNet Center model– Will inform specifications process for
RFP– Will help influence change in TX
resource sharing culture
![Page 62: Texas Resource Sharing: Examining the Present, Envisioning a Vibrant Future A Research Study prepared by Bibliographical Center for Research January 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062619/5515ad9a550346486b8b60f3/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Possible Pilot Programs
• Combine Library of Texas with Relais– Leverages Z39.50 work in LOT– Distributed workflow– Increased availability of holdings
• Fund stand-alone and circulation-based sharing based on geography and/or ILS system– Harrington Library Consortia– MetrOPAC
![Page 63: Texas Resource Sharing: Examining the Present, Envisioning a Vibrant Future A Research Study prepared by Bibliographical Center for Research January 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062619/5515ad9a550346486b8b60f3/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Possible Pilot Programs
• OCLC Services– Incorporates multi-type sharing– Determines extent of training needs
• Expansion of courier participation– Use GIS analysis to target areas of
population growth and ILL use– Suggestions
• I-35 corridor Dallas/Ft. Worth to Laredo• Houston Area Library System• US-83 corridor from Brownsville to Laredo
![Page 64: Texas Resource Sharing: Examining the Present, Envisioning a Vibrant Future A Research Study prepared by Bibliographical Center for Research January 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062619/5515ad9a550346486b8b60f3/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Possible Pilot Programs
• Library of Texas and Index Data– Expand ILL functionality– Test NCIP capability with
selected libraries
![Page 65: Texas Resource Sharing: Examining the Present, Envisioning a Vibrant Future A Research Study prepared by Bibliographical Center for Research January 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062619/5515ad9a550346486b8b60f3/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Recommendations• Issue an RFP for new resource
sharing system– Use data from pilot projects to
determine the most feasible option for Texas resource sharing
– Use cost savings from TexNet Center reduction to fund new model
