Agenda
Introductions OCLC Discovery to Delivery Objectives Home Delivery pilot overview Montana report Experiences and Outcomes Future plans
OCLC Objectives
Deliver Library Capacity (e.g. metadata, services, expertise) at point of user’s need • Global: www.worldcat.org
• Group: WorldCat group catalogs
• Local: WorldCat Local
• www.lib.washington.edu
• Syndication via partners Encourage users to participate in network
and community of libraries
OCLC Objectives
Aggregate services around users• Discover resources, services, expertise
• Share & Collaborate expertise, recommendations, experiences
• Deliver needed items to users – wherever they are
Delivery
Leverage the value of web-scale into end-user solutions for libraries• Position Worldcat.org as the entry point to delivery services
• Provide comprehensive & intelligent delivery options: Electronic resource resolution; consortia borrowing; global ILL; Buy-it
• Move home delivery from pilot to product
In plain language…
Make resource sharing an end-user business Automating and industrializing as much staff
workflow as possible Building on the power of resolution Broadening the service offering to include
physical delivery
Home Delivery Pilot Components
Funding for equipment and postage by OCLC Facilitate equipment and packaging materials for
home delivery (and return) of materials NCIP component for workflow savings for staff Survey librarians and patrons on use and value
OCLC Pilot Goals
Expose libraries and patrons to home delivery of materials
Determine level of patron interest in home delivery
Define logistics of offering home delivery Test NCIP for patron authentication and workflow
savings for libraries
Montana-OCLC NCIP and Home Delivery Pilot
Participating systems Participating libraries Requirements for Montana libraries to
participate
Pilot Goals for Montana
Central NCIP authentication works smoothly and seamlessly for user
Home delivery option becomes viable Courier possibilities are discovered as
part of the process Montana statewide library card gains
local and statewide support
Pilot Experience: Challenges
Place hold issues:• Hold level within local system
• Testing internally with hold permission group versus non hold permission libraries
Bib records with duplicate OCLC numbers
ILL default “user” record for non pilot libraries
Pilot Experience: Challenges
Time needed for item to arrive at borrowing library
Due date passed from WCRS to ILS Changes in library staff’s workflow Staff training: when to let NCIP do the
work
Pilot experiences: Successes
Patrons love the home delivery option Less work for library staff (when NCIP
worked as planned) Pilot participants continue to support the
concept of central user authentication via OCLC and home delivery as an option
OCLC and SirsiDynix support and commitment
Montana patron experiences
Overwhelmingly positive about home delivery
Over 2500 items (and counting) delivered Over 90% willing to recommend service to others Over 70% said they chose home delivery because of
its convenience Willing to pay (not a lot)
• Like subscription
• Don’t want libraries to lose other services to fund home delivery
OCLC Future plans/NCIP
Offering NCIP as an option for• Authentication
• Workflow savings for circulation interoperability between cooperating libraries
• Continuing to pursue partnerships with ILS vendors
• Working to fill gaps when partnerships do not exist
OCLC Future plans/Home Delivery
Over the next one –two years• Tracking for major carriers
• Home delivery an option for consortia solution
• Negotiations between OCLC and major carriers for shipping discounts for OCLC members
• End user payment put in place
• Home delivery as option to own patrons via OCLC ILS products
OCLC Future plans/Home Delivery
The Dream (or 5 year plan for all you optimists)• Libraries are willing to do home delivery for their own and
other libraries patrons– policies relaxed
• Floating collections in place for ease of return and ease on shipping costs
• Users place requests and know they will receive home delivery from a library
• OCLC has facilitated negotiated shipping costs with all major carriers
WorldCat Consortia Borrowing
First Concrete Step toward circulation interoperability and home delivery
Combines• WorldCat.org group patron interface
• VDX for staff interface and circulation interoperability
• Seamless integration with WCRS for out of group requesting
• Integrates first home delivery options
• Available next summer
For your consideration
Do you know of libraries or groups currently offering home delivery?
Have your patrons requested home delivery? Would you deliver items directly to your own
patrons/to other libraries’ patrons? Would be comfortable charging patrons for this type
of service?
Thank you!
