  5. Overview – a critical reality check • Avoiding each other and meeting each other! Ships… • 50% is not 50%... • Bi-location, it’s not just “over the road”… • 2+3+2 ≠ 7 music librarians • Bi-location and technical issues • Achievements and “other benefits”

  6. Bi-location and technical issues - Voyager Spot the difference!

  7. 4. Bi-location and technical issues – File storage • Camtools vs Shared Drive at Pen via VPN

  8. Bi-location and technical issues – web pages • IP recognition (no updates UL or Pen pages independent from location!) -> can be fixed, but… • UL -> FTP server & HTML • Faculty -> WordPress

  9. 5. Achievements and “other benefits” - started in September • Team of 6: 3 volunteers 3 ft members of staff - Blogger team from both libraries

  10. Other benefits of the current model • Knowing both collections -> advise users of one library of benefits of other library • Coordinate acquisition -> sometimes duplicate, say, sheet music for practical reasons -> concentrate on one holding at library for expensive acquisitions (collected editions)

  11. Any questions? Anna Pensaert amljp2@cam.ac.uk Clemens Gresser cg474@cam.ac.uk
