An opportunity to share good practice, discuss problems and network with like-minded colleagues from across Wales.
Following the successful inaugural workshop held in 2009 we got together again with inter-library loan practitioners who want to learn about current and future trends.

FIL/LIEM Document Supply Workshop

Report of the SED Workshop (Linda Clark, Facilitator)
Introduction
Most of the group use SED with Adobe Digital Editions (ADE) version 1.6 although some still use Adobe Reader versions 6 or 7. Not all supply SEDs direct to the end users (some print them off and send the paper copy out). This is due to a combination of factors:
because ADE 1.6 cannot be networked across an institution (but see lower)
end-users may have their own laptops / pcs but not the requisite software.
SED positives
Speed of delivery – avoids postal delays
Cost effective – no printing costs if supplied direct to the end user
Popular with more technology-proficient (younger?) academics
Can be accessed by users from home, allowing libraries to get documents to people based overseas
Document can be sent direct to end-user (provided they have the requisite software)
SED negatives
DRM can cause some problems – possible lack of knowledge on receiver’s part?
Could appear too technical – better/clearer instructions needed
ADE not networkable (but v.1.7 may offer this)
Users need to remember to close ADE after each download
Lack of specific technical support on site/campus
Difficult to ascertain nature of end-users’ problems if they are not IT-proficient
Lack of feedback as to whether SED received successfully by end-users
Cost of printing for end-users
Tips from British Library concerning Secure Electronic Delivery and Adobe
Close ADE via top left drop down menu NOT top right cross. If the latter is
done, next time a document is downloaded the one viewed last may appear again,
giving the impression that the item has been supplied twice.
When downloading a document you may see this message:
Downloading this eBook requires Adobe Acrobat eBook Reader version 2.2 or later
to be installed…. We did not detect this version of Adobe Acrobat e-book reader.
To download your document, scroll to the very bottom of that page
there is the sentence:
Under some circumstances, the required version of Acrobat eBook Reader may
already be installed even though we cannot….Acrobat eBook Reader version 2.2 or
later is installed on your computer, click here to download your eBooks.
If you click as instructed, your document should download provided you have the
correct Adobe software.
Clear out unwanted or expired documents on a regular basis, both in the Adobe
software and in the My Digital Editions and My EBooks folders in My Documents on your pc.
On your web browser, go to Tools, then Internet Options and clear out any
unwanted temporary internet pages, cookies etc on a regular basis.
Ring British Library Customer Services on 01937 546060 if you are still unable to
resolve difficulties.
Educating end-users
Consult SED FAQs on British Library web page www.bl.uk/sed
Download Test Document at the above web page if you encounter problems
Look at FAQs on Adobe web page
http://www.adobe.com/products/digitaleditions/faq/
Clear, simple verbal and written instructions
SED clinics for staff/students
Important to mention access period to SEDs; offer alternative form of delivery if end-user likely to be away
Possible improvements/future developments
Would be useful to have more agreement between libraries on the use of digital signatures – would be helpful to discuss model strategies and policies
More flexible approach to DRMs by software providers

John Rylands Library, Deansgate, Manchester
Wednesday 12th December, 2007
The John Rylands Library houses some of the most significant books and manuscripts ever produced. The magnificent neo-gothic building in Manchester’s city centre is a major visitor attraction as well as a research library of world renown. The collections include exquisite medieval illuminated manuscripts and examples of the earliest forms of modern printing including the Gutenberg Bible, as well as the personal papers of distinguished historical figures such as Elizabeth Gaskell, John Dalton and John Wesley.
Attendees were able to learn about the management of this unique stock from collections specialists, and enjoy a private view of collection items not currently on public display in a ‘Close Up’ session.
The event included a guided tour of this beautiful and fascinating building.
This Specialist Library Visit, including mid morning refreshments, was offered free to members of Libraries North West and the Forum for Inter Lending & Information Delivery.
‘A thoroughly enjoyable and informative visit, thank you for organising an excellent event’.
