Attention SWAN Library Inter-Library Loan Staff:
As you are most likely aware, RAILS is undertaking a multiyear, four phase project to
explore options to provide more seamless access to Resource Sharing (i.e., searching
system-wide holdings and placing interlibrary loan requests) throughout the service area
for all libraries. RAILS is currently in Phase Two: Research into Organizational Factors.
To find out more about the RAILS project, read about it on the RAILS website here:

RAILS is working with organizational consultant Eric Craymer, who will be conducting focus
groups with various stakeholders.
This attached memo is for interested library directors and specifically ILL staff. We hope
to have Interlibrary Loan staff representation attend the appropriate focus group session.
Please register online in L2 by 5:00 PM on Friday, March 12. The maximum number of
registrants will be 25.
