News from Sharon:

Connecticar will not operate next Thursday, November 26th, Thanksgiving Day.

In addition, Route B will not be operating on Friday, November 27th. This is the first of three furlough days for state employees to cope with the state budget situation.
Route A will be running on Friday. If you are a Route A library and are closed on Friday, please let us know. Email me at my address below. Also cc to Sonia Roman at Avant at soniar@avantservices.com

Thank you.
Sharon

As you know we conducted a survey of the volume being delivered on Connecticar during the week of October 26th through the 30th Thank you to all the libraries that took the time to count their items and enter their data.

We have compiled the results and – no surprise – it looks like our volume has increased. Extrapolating from the sample, it looks like we average about 2.75 million items a year! That is well over the approximate level of 2 million in our last two surveys.

For more details on how we arrived at this number please see the survey report on WebJunction CT.

Thank you again for your help in compiling this data. Sharon

Good morning, We are permanently changing the Bethel Public Library over to the A side of the operation. They will be receiving delivery from Avant Services. We are therefore changing their route number to A-10. So please note this on your route slip: Bethel Public Library A-10 or better yet download a new chart at: http://ct.webjunction.org/510/-/articles/content/1090517

Sharon

Good morning,
Thank you for counting all your deliveries this week. I know it adds one more thing to you busy day.
As a reminder in case you lost it, here is the link to the survey.

We’ll be keeping it up until November 6th to give you plenty of time to enter your data.
If we missed a delivery this week, just leave that day blank and record the numbers on the day you did receive your stuff.

Thanks again,  Sharon

The Connecticut State Library will conduct a brief survey during the week of October 26th to determine the volume of items being shipped on Connecticar. For planning purposes we need to periodically get a sampling of the volume on Ccar and we haven’t done one since Oct 2007. This information will help us improve our service.

During the week of October 26th we will be asking you to count all incoming shipments on Ccar and enter the number of items you received in a brief form on Survey Monkey.

From Tom Newman, Connecticut State Library’s Data Coordinator:

This is a reminder that all public, academic, and special libraries that are reporting their Interlibrary Loan activity for the 2008-2009 Fiscal Year should do so by July 30.  The State Library compiles this information using this survey form:
http://tinyurl.com/6zlcnz , and reports the results here: http://ct.webjunction.org/ct/stats .

If your library has been submitting monthly ILL reports, please finish your monthly submissions for the year by July 30.

If your library has not submitted any monthly ILL reports for FY2009, you can still use the same report form (above) to submit a report for the entire year.

As always, the more libraries that report their ILL activity, the more accurate the ILL report that follows.  Thank you for your help.

From Walt at CCAR:

Due to illness and Vacations the following “B” CCar libraries will have their service changed for the next 3 weeks.Every library should expect service at least once during these 3 weeks on any day.. Our schedules will be adjusted daily.

B1, B2, B4, B6, B21, B24, B26, B30, B31, B33, B37, B38, B49, B62, B69, B70, B86, B92, B93, B94, B100, B113, B115, B116, B129, B131, B139, B144, B145, B153, B155, B165, B181, B190, B192, B211, B212, B213, B214, B216, B217, AND B225
