The U.S. Air Force
Academy Hospital Medical Library (not the Cadet academic library) is closing its
doors. I've attached the first of many documents listing my collection
that is available to federal libraries. These lists include everything,
but my journals. The journals lists will be posted in a week or
two.
IMPORTANT:
The hospital is
not willing to fund the shipping costs and I can not accept ANY
reimbursement. I believe that I can fund small shipments without
too much notice, but any large requests with multiple boxes will need to be
funded by the requesting library.
This means that once
you identify the materials you wish to acquire and have communicated this to me,
you will need to schedule the pick-up with UPS or FEDEX. The UPS or
FEDEX driver will come to my library with the shipping labels for the boxes
& pick them up. The bill for the shipment will then go to the
requesting library.
FEDEX has the
simplest procedure. The requesting library schedules a pickup with FEDEX
from my library, the driver arrives with the shipping labels for the
boxes, and then the boxes are picked up. The bill for the shipping is sent
to the requesting library. No weight, dimensions, or quantity of boxes is
needed when scheduling the pickup.
UPS can do the same
thing except that when the pickup is scheduled, the requesting library will need
to provide the quantity, dimensions, & weight of the boxes. I can
provide all, but the weight at this point. I don't even have a bathroom
scale to use. Also having to measure each box for dimensions is an extra
hassle.
Here's hoping that
this all makes sense! If not, give me a holler.
