22 September 2007 - 20:397-Fast pilot project: free delivery

Anna pointed this out to me last week and I’d guess most of us could make use of it: 7fast has a pilot running right now that allows faculty and grad students to get library materials delivered on campus with charge. From their web site:

7-FAST is starting a pilot project fall term 2007 to deliver copies and loans to all faculty, graduate students and proxies for free. We also deliver UM materials to undergraduates and staff, online and on campus for $3.75 per request.

Thousands of faculty, students and staff have used 7-FAST because we offer:
