Activity Details
Title: Pickup, sort, deliver
Narrative: deliverIT CT service is provided to principal public libraries, academic libraries, and other institutions. Materials shipped include all physical formats (books, DVDs, CDs, etc). State library staff pick up materials, return to the central sorting facility to sort all items picked up that day, and deliver the materials in the following days according to their route schedules.
In July 2017, the service began a pilot in which each library received service up to 5 days a week, with drivers picking up a maximum of 3 bins per day and delivering a maximum of 3 bins per day.
Intent: Improve users’ ability to obtain and/or use information resources.

Title: Service Evaluation
Narrative: The State Library hired a consultant to assess the statewide delivery service and to make recommendations and develop models that would insure its future sustainability. The consultant reviewed route maps, schedules, and delivery data, and he conducted six focus groups with 135 participants at public libraries around the state. CSL convened a deliverIT Sustainability Task Force to review the consultant's report and make further recommendations.
In May 2017, CSL implemented one recommendation by initiating a more accurate method for measuring volume in which libraries make a daily count of the items sent and received and report their data quarterly. Based on this new methodology and data submitted for May and June 2017 by 132 of 215 libraries, CSL estimates that deliverIT CT delivers approximately 2.2 million items per year.
Additional task force recommendations went into effect in July 2017.
Intent: Improve users’ ability to obtain and/or use information resources.
