CSUL

Charge (from CSUL 12/4/08)
The committee was charged with identifying the practicalities of various UBorrow models, costs of implementation, and implications for workflow. The group was asked to submit reports by mid-February to allow time for discussion before the March 2009 CSUL meeting.
Some points of discussion were:

• Workflow changes will be significant, based on increase in number of transactions
• Expected transfer of workload from ILL to CIRC
• Costs. In response to budgetary concerns, it was noted that startup will be labor intensive and expensive, but eventually ILL should be able to reduce staff. Ultimately, the economy will drive the decision.
