A similar message will be posted on the list for interlibrary loan
librarians.

We are interested in tapping other people's experiences using current
contents services and document delivery.  We are particularly interested
in Faxon Finder/Express, which we have recently had demoed, but we are
also interested in experience the OCLC system, etc.  Our particular
concerns deal with cost-per-use, average cost-per-document, ability to
meet commitments on timely document delivery, timely updating, and in
general the administrative issues involved in choosing and implementing
such a service.  While we have been considering such a move for several
years, the immediate impetus is a recent serials cancellation project
which has reduced the number of requests we can fill locally.
