Dear Jean
Re:SED
As you know I had and still have reservations about rolling out SED
to all users, - a major drawback is that BL keep sending all our SED
requests to the library instead of direct to the end user, they are
aware of this problem but until it is resolved to our satisfaction we
view SED as a retrogressive step. The mail delivery is
excellent and much appreciated by our users.
Eventually I do hope we can offer SED to the Academic staff and we
will not discourage any student who wishes to accept the conditions
imposed by SED delivery and who is prepared to use up their valuable
print allocation.
However, we will rethink the offer if it proves expensive because they do
not activate the link in time and requests need to reordered at our
expense o, if the link fails to open regularly and staff time is taken up
sorting it out between user and BL

Dear Colleagues
Although I have asked a couple of times for volunteers to write
something
about the experience of introducing SED for the FIL Newsletter, no-one
has
put their head above the parapet. However recently there have been
some
e-mails on lis-ill about this, so I thought I might do a summary of
them
myself for the Newletter. So I have 2 questions
Would those of you who contributed to the discussion contact me and let
me
know that this is ok with you - I can let you see my draft when I write
it
if you would like so that you can comment on it.
Would anyone who would like to make further comments like to contact me
to
let me know that I can include them in the summary?
I have also asked for someone at BLDSC to write something for us too
and
hope that we shall be able to include plenty of information about this
for
FIL members.
