LIS Links Document Delivery Service (DDS)
by Dr. Badan Barman 19 Mar '13

19 Mar '13

Respected Froum / Group Members, It become a regular fact that people who made a document request did not receive the document. Day by day people stop sharing for the benefit of others. So, I come with a plan to help the people who are in need of a document and at the same time to strengthen the existing library associations just by sharing a document. *Proposed Step by Step Process for LIS Links Document Delivery Service* *Group Address: http://lislinks.com/group/document-delivery-service-dds * *1. Building Union Collection of Electronic Documents:* We are building union collection of database / e-journals / e-books that are accessible to individual librarians through their institutional subscription. It will only include the collection of those librarians who want to participate in the LIS Links Document Delivery Service. If you are interested kindly join this group (http://lislinks.com/group/document-delivery-service-dds), and include your collection in this form ( https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1BBczxocBBVd9ZgvtQLJotrQW7ye2Jif9UYmUEoRT_H… ). *2. Ask for Your Document:* As a librarian if you or any one of your library member feel the need of any kind of document particularly e-book, e-journal, electronic article, that are not accessible from your own institute or you are not subscribed to it, then you can ask for the document here ( https://docs.google.com/forms/d/11sFcxwr8dqR0ptgsaJUYBJ37KwYkPaQkujfFNzLm4Z… ). • Now the moderator will consult the union collection of electronic documents, and send the request to only those who have the access to your requested document. • The sender will send the document to the moderator and in turn moderator will send the document to the people who are in need of it. • Those who will send the article will earn a single credit (for every kind of document a single credit), and the people who will receive it, will owe two credit for a single document. • At the end of the year we will charged the people who owe a credit (one credit is equal to Rs. 50/-). • Those who will earn the credit can use his/her credit to get a document or he/she can cash the credit and donate it to any national level library association of India (excluding the cost of cheque clearance fee / cost of demand draft and postal charge). • Kindly note we are not making a profit and will also take necessary action so that others cannot make a profit out of it. *Note:* I really dont know whether this plan will work or not, but I think we should try it. Kindly provide your constructive criticism on my plan or join me in a test. Thanking you, Yours faithfully Address: Dr. Badan Barman, Academic Consultant, Library & Information Science, Krishna Kanta Handiqui State Open University, Housefed Complex, Last Gate, Guwahati-781006, Assam, India *Toll Free Number:* 1800 345 3613 *Phone:* 0361-2234964 / 2235971 / 092070 49493 *Fax:* 0361- 2235398. *Institutional Websites:* http://www.kkhsou.in *Personal Websites:* http://www.lislinks.com -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
