Description:This program details the implementation of the Michigan eLibrary (MeL) statewide search gateway and statewide union catalog and resource sharing system using MAP and INN-Reach software not only with Innovative local systems but also with other vendors' systems. We will describe the Direct Consortial Borrowing component used by libraries without Innovative local systems, as well as discuss decision making, system design, coordination with vendors, and the lessons learned to date.
