Hi Aaron,
I saw the article and of course it had to bash Swan. I thought of what you said about EHS
seeing a spike in circ at first and now seeing it drop.
I think a letter from Dee would be great and something from David about why it was
important for OPS to rejoin the consortium would be the right way to go. Going negative
against ORS would be fun, but wouldn't serve our purpose.
Just my thoughts.

In case some of you have missed the article, I thought I would share with you the Chicago
Tribune article which noted the large increase in circulation.

SWAN of course was mentioned in it, negatively of course. They cannot resist that.
The RAILS Leadership team felt that it portrayed consortium in a bad light, so Dee
suggested she write a letter to the editor about the topic of resource sharing. I offered
to help with the letter. Dee also was thinking that it would be good to have a letter from
a SWAN library director. Any thoughts on if a letter should be sent or if we should
approach a library director. Dee was thinking of David Seleb, mostly because of a large
public library joining SWAN.
