Abstract

Libraries for many years have been trying to make the information-seeking process
easier and more convenient for users. USQ Library, with its high proportion of
off-campus students, has felt this challenge more keenly than most. Over the
last 18 months, the Library has implemented federated search, interlibrary
loans and off-campus delivery through a single interface. This paper explores
some of the key issues in the planning and implementation of this initiative:
risk management, management of competing departmental requirements, vendor
relationships, client consultation, and other business and technical issues.
The paper evaluates the impact of this initiative
on the Library's service delivery and highlights future-proofing plans.

KeywordsDocEx, document delivery, remote clients, off-campus students, library system planning
