We’re excited to announce a new CLiC tutorial on our web site, the Resource Sharing tutorial. If you feel awash in a sea of acronyms where resource sharing is concerned (OCLC, BCR, CLV, CLC, CSL, CLiC, and more!), then this tutorial can definitely help you. Resource sharing isn’t just interlibrary loan, but there’s plenty of information about Colorado ILL systems in the tutorial.
The tutorial is barely two weeks old and already 30 people have taken it! This is a great response rate and I’m glad to see that so many people are interested in the fine workings of resource sharing in CO. If you’ve taken the quiz and are still waiting for your snazzy certificate, I apologize…each quiz is carefully hand graded by yours truly, and May is a busy month for us. Those should be out soon!
We also have the tutorial available on CD for those of you that might have slower Internet connections. Just email me at rdean(at)clicweb(dot)org and I’ll get a CD in the mail to you.
