[ILL-L] clarification of av wiki list

[Sue Kaler]

Hi all,

Let me try to be more clear, since there seems to be some confusion.

What I'm working on, with some others, is a list of those who loan av.  This 
is actually harder to figure out from the OCLC Policies Directory than one 
could hope it would be.  I wish it was easy in the Policies Directory.  Try 
figuring out who loans microfilm some time.  You get some very odd results 
in advanced search.  The Policies Directory does work very well to hunt for 
LVIS members, but not for media lenders.

So, the idea is to post an av lenders list on a wiki.  It's not much 
different than people sharing their various lists as has been done to ILL-L 
in the past.  It's just that the wiki list would always be there when you 
look for it and we might be able to figure out a mechanism to update it on 
the wiki.  Whenever one of us interested in this topic finds something out 
something new, it would be great if it could be shared with others having 
similar interests.

If you don't loan av, you would probably check once to make sure you weren't 
on the list and then ignore the whole project.  If you do borrow and loan 
av, you may find it useful to consult.  Perhaps eventually, OCLC will re-do 
the Policy Directory and the wiki list could go away.

Lastly, I work in a public library and have no need to publish or perish.

Hope this is more understandable.
