== The Moving Mountains Project ==

The Moving Mountains Project is a group of librarians involved in physical delivery who have come together to create a best practices web site on issues related to delivery of library materials. The site includes best practices, sample RFP's, training materials, a glossary and bibliography, vendor information, and other topics. Speculative pieces on the future of library delivery, such as creating a national library courier or home delivery, are welcome as is additional content.

 Because the LINK+ seach is tied in to the host library's search page, it's simple for a patron to try to find an item once her own library's collection comes up dry. The patron then enters her card info and puts down the location where she wants the item delivered, just as with a typical internal request. The fines are high if you're late or lose an item, but the service is terrific. It's a great source for old books that many libraries don't have the room to hold.
 Electronic media are not available, but it's still a pretty great service.
