What is the SFX implementation process for a CARLI library, and how do we get started?
Only CARLI Governing Members may implement SFX on the CARLI server. In order to implement SFX for the first time libraries must have staff attend one of the “SFX Overview” webcasts that CARLI schedules periodically. To start the process, fill out the non-binding SFX Interest Survey at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=159002961957, or just send email to support@carli.illinois.edu. Registration for the two-hour Overview webcasts will be announced generally on the CARLI Announce email distribution list, but filling out the Interest Survey allows CARLI to know in advance how much interest there is and how many webcasts to schedule. The Overview webcast is designed to give libraries the information they need in order to decide whether they are interested in implementing SFX at all. The Overview webcast is also an integral part of the training for implementing libraries, since the material covered during the webcast is not repeated during the full-day, hands-on implementation training tha
