  10. Z39.50 common knowledge II • Reports on the web: • <http://www.cic.uiuc.edu/CIC/cli/z39-50report.htm> • <http://www.nlc-bnc.ca/resource/vcuc/ezarl2.htm>

  11. Current service issues • Access and authentication • Inter-Library Loans • Interface design

  12. Access and authentication • Free access; but authentication for ‘value-added’ services • RIDING Access Policy • Gateway authentication impractical • Different ATHENS3 implementations across consortium members

  13. Inter-Library Loans • User eligibility • Holdings information, particularly for distributed library services • Links between RIDING and existing ILL systems • BLDSC

  14. Interface design • Choice of targets • Collection level descriptions • Display of hits from multiple targets • variable server response rates • Incorporation of textual information (e.g. access policy) • Linking to existing Web pages

  15. Where do we go from here? • Operational service from February 1999 • Evaluation, particularly end-user reactions • Inter-clumping

  16. Where do we go from here? • Operational service from February 1999 • Evaluation, particularly end-user reactions • Inter-clumping • A broader vehicle within the YHUA • Document delivery/direct end-user charging

  17. What did RIDING ever do for us? • Co-operation and working together for the common good • Preparation of an access policy across the region • Exploring pro-active interlending • Continuing good relations with BLDSC • Exploring cross-sectoral links
