ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Misdirected Inter-library Loan Requests
Over the last couple of weeks, an
unusual amount of inter-library loan requests that have been filled through
OCLC have been sent to the wrong libraries.
Apparently, lending libraries using an updated ILLiad program have two
views and do not necessarily view the “Ship To” area on the “Borrowing Notes.”
Instead, they send the item to whomever was assigned to our code based on a
previous transaction.
If your library is the recipient
of a misdirected OCLC request item, please:
- Notify
NEILSA that you have received the item. We will need to know the ILL
number, the author and title, and the name of the library that sent the
item.
- Please
forward the item on to the library that requested the item. We will tell
you which library is the recipient.
We will contact the lending
library and alert them that when they see our code, they will need to view the
“Borrowing Notes.” Thanks for your help
in solving this frustrating problem!

YALSA’s Summer Reading List for Teens: If you’re looking to boost your
young adult book collection, the titles above are good recommendations. And you can also find a new summer reading
list for teens from YALSA, standing for Young Adult Library Services Association. YALSA is a division of ALA. This newest list surrounds the theme
“Discover the New
World”
and the titles harkens back to America’s colonization period. The connection is a new movie coming to
theaters this fall called THE NEW WORLD, starring Colin Farrell as John Smith and Q’orianka Kilcher as Pocahontas. Here’s a sampling of YALSA’s recommended
titles on this theme:
Redemption (2004, by
Julie Chibbbaro)
Pocahontas (2003, by
Joseph Bruchac)
A Killing in Plymouth Colony (2003, by
Carol Otis)
To Conquer is to Live:
The Life of Captain John Smith (2001, by Kieran Doherty)
Witch-Hunt: Mysteries
of the Salen Witch Trials (2003, by Marc Aronson)

Clarksville Public
Library director retired, sorry we missed this last week. More so we will miss Lola.
Van Service AEA 267 is once a week for the summer, no Keystone delivery during the summer.
Accredation & Report
If your library
is missing Tier status the LSA can help you meet requirements. Call
Ken and set up a meeting at your library to see what can be done.
FROM: Gerry at SLI
Revised Tier status is on the web at:
Or
There are 117 libraries at Tier 0 at present, about 50
because a report has not been filed. We are still accepting reports
and changes to reports. Tier status is a major factor in determining
Direct State Aid for each public library. Please note: the State
Library is not accepting any additional applications for accreditation,
Tier 3. (applications were due 1/31/05)
Libraries that did not submit an Annual Survey in 2004, and
libraries that do not submit an Accreditation Application/Report, do
not meet Measure 6, which is a Tier 1 requirement. Those libraries
also do not meet the minimum requirements of the Direct State Aid
Letter of Agreement.
