MLS Delivery Services Meeting [Whately]
On Wednesday, May 4, the MLS is meeting with interested members of all Massachusetts library networks to discuss changes to MLS Delivery Services that are planned for July 1, 2011. The MLS plans to change vendors and begin implementation of new technology that will eventually allow most libraries to eliminate the need to place a routing label on outgoing items. While this technology is not imminent for all Networks, the MLS would like to discuss their plans with member libraries. Remote access to this meeting will be made available to those who cannot attend in person.
