The BorrowDirect Policy Group will meet in person and virtually at ALA.  One of the agenda topics is to evaluate the goals and to begin a discussion of the future direction of the BD partnership.  The partnership has evolved from a known-item requesting service among three institutions to a group of eleven institutions doing so much more.   To facilitate the conversation, each institution is asked to brainstorm ideas using the SWOT analysis tool prior to the meeting.  Following the review at ALA, we will use a tool from the Berkman Center at Harvard to identify where the partnership wants to focus its attention.  

The discussion will benefit by having as much input as possible from all areas of the Dartmouth Library.  Feel free to share this request with your staff and ask for their input to include in your reply.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Jennifer
