ANNOUNCEMENTS:
OPEN ACCESS, ACCESS PLUS,
and DSA Reports Due 7/31/05: Please
take note of this important summertime deadline. Final
reports for the OPEN ACCESS, ACCESS PLUS, and DIRECT STATE AID programs
are due at the State Library by July 31st. Taking each in turn:
For OPEN ACCESS, report the number of items
checked out to OPEN ACCESS customers throughout FY’05. Remember
you can also claim postage reimbursement (if a customer drops off a
book belonging to another participating OA library, you can claim
actual postage costs to mail it back; do not include postage associated
with interlibrary loan) Note
too that on the last page of the report, the State Library is asking success stories
involving OPEN ACCESS, how this statewide borrowing privilege made a
difference to your customers. Look for
this report and further explanations here:
http://www.silo.lib.ia.us/for-ia-libraries/enrich-ia/open-access/index.htm
For ACCESS PLUS, report the number of
interlibrary loan “lending” transactions throughout FY’05.
Here, most small libraries catch a breakJ If all
of your lending was done through SILO or OCLC, you won’t need to supply
those numbers because the State Library already has knowledge of
those numbers. However, if you loaned
materials to other libraries that DID NOT go through SILO
channels, then you do
need to report those loans. For instance,
if your library loaned a set of multiple titles to a neighboring
library for their book discussion group, report that on the ACCESS PLUS
form. Or if your library loaned a number
of dragon books to a neighboring library for their summer program,
report that on the ACCESS PLUS form. Look
for this report and further explanations here: http://www.silo.lib.ia.us/for-ia-libraries/enrich-ia/access-plus/index.htm
EDIT NOTICE (From Gerry @ SLI): We do need the library to report the total # of items loaned on the
line that says:
"Total ILL items loaned to eligible Iowa libraries___________"
(Access
Plus Annual Report).
Libraries that do not report their total number of loans on this line may not receive reimbursement for all their Access Plus
transactions.
We [SLI] do not need verification of SILO or OCLC
transactions, all other transactions need to be verified on the Access
Plus transaction log.
For DIRECT STATE AID, report how your library spent
its share of the DIRECT STATE AID money in FY’05. This
is the payment that libraries receive for meeting the service standards
outlined in IN SERVICE TO IOWA: PUBLIC LIBRARY MEASURES OF
QUALITY. If your library met enough standards to be
rewarded with funding in TIERS 1-2-3, then you’ll need to relay to
the State Library what you spent that money on.
Look for this report and further
explanation here:
http://www.silo.lib.ia.us/for-ia-libraries/enrich-ia/index.html
This
reporting is necessary because libraries are reimbursed for OPEN ACCESS
and ACCESS PLUS transactions, as well as for meeting standards in TIERS
1-2-3. And
because it’s also just plain good library management to track activity
in these areas
As always, call NEILSA with any questions or
contact the State Library directly.
Thanks for your attention to these fiscal year-ending
final reports!
