Comments: To: libref-l@kentvm.kent.edu

----------------------------Original message----------------------------
Our library system's resources do not allow for truly up-to-date information
resources at each public service point.  A major obstacle to networking
current information to our branch system is copyright infringement.  Has
anyone successfully negotiated photocopy or reproduction rights with
publishers such as Facts on File, Congressional Quarterly, the New York
Times, or other major newspapers?  Has anyone arranged to buy reprints
from such publishers that are timely enough to be useful?  Who was your
contact?  What was the deal?

Please address your comments to Martin Dooley, Division Chief, Telephone
Reference, Brooklyn Public Library, Grand Army Plaza, Brooklyn, NY
11238-5619  (718) 780-7826.  Or, you may send e-mail to OTTOP@ACF.NYU.EDU
and I will forward your comments to Martin.

Lots of luck!  Here is an opportunity to find out just how user-
friendly CD-ROMS really are!

Our CD-ROM network is in the immediate vicinity of the Reference Desk
and assistance with it can keep a full-time person busy all day.  We
try to have a student assistant or intern available for this.

You might consider taking a survey of users by leaving a little card
or something asking if the user (1) was able to find the desired
information, (2) found the system prompts intelligible, (3) was
able to print--assuming you have printers--and (4) found your point
of use aids or documentation--assuming you have them--helpful.

Do you have contingency plans if this doesn't work out?

I think there would be general interest in how this kind of setup has
worked, will work or can be made to work.

Comments: To: libref-l@kentvm.kent.edu

----------------------------Original message----------------------------
Once again we have the case of too much serial and not enought milk,
uh, money|  Our Collection development person reports that our
estimate of 18% growth in cost was too low.  Thus, we must cut even
more than we had planned.
I suggested that instead of cross the board cuts (especially of
expensive titles) that we look at cutting by publisher.  That is to
say that instead of cutting 10% of the cost of math serials, we
would cut 10% of xxx publishers titles.  I further suggested that
if a publisher looked out of line in their increases, either over
or under, we should punish or reward that publisher.  Example:
Average German serial's cost 22% increase, SVX average 32% we should
alot maybe 18% increase and cut enought of their titles to stay in
that range.  Likewise, if the German firm RRS's titles averaged 15%
we should keep all of their titles and perhaps add one or two (just
dreaming).
I realize that this is a more difficult way of doing business, but I
am getting tired of holding onto those "essential" publications from
the same old publishers that double their rates every 4 years.
Now, my question.
  Do any of you use such a method of deselection?  If so, I would
appreciate hearing from you shortly.  I be

Since everybody else has commented....

We have a policy of no more than 30 files, no more than 3000 blocks,
no more than 30 days.

To avoid deleting files people need/want, we warn them via e-mail a
day before which files are to be deleted the next day.  It's then the
users' responsibilities to do something with them.  So far, we've had
no complaints....

I also have JANTIDY search the .LOG files for files transferred among
users on the same system.  When I see a user sending a lot of files to
himself, it usually indicates he's trying to get around quota
problems---and I contact them about that....

Subject:      Re: problem with jan_receive area and quotas

 Many people have discussed many different ways to try and "automagically"
keep users from storing files in the jan_receive area.

My experience is, you can't! Intelligent users will sooner or later discover
this "FREE" storage area. Unfortunately, some also pass this information
along to others.

 I edited jan_sys:login.com to include the following message when users log
in and files are found in the jan_receive area:


   >> NOTE << - Files older than 15 days will be removed from the system!

            Files stored in this RECEIVE area will be regarded
            as part of your disk allocation. This may cause
            them to be deleted from the system without notice.


Every so often I check the jan_receive area and, if necessary, do some type
of cleaning up in that directory.

Comments: To: JNET-L@uga.cc.uga.edu

I can understand why a system administration would like to prevent users
from using the JAN_RECEIVE area to circumvent disk quota policies.
However, I think procedures based on the number of files are
ill-conceived.  Instead, action should be based on a policy about disk
space consumed and/or a time limit.  What if a user requests a package
that ships in 4 parts?  The user would have to stay logged in and try to
receive the first parts as they arrive so they aren't purged!  The user
may have to request a package several times to get all the parts.

Also, your BITNET neighbors may have spent a lot of resources (CPU
cycles, disk space, network bandwidth) to deliver the files to you.
This is why Jnet receives files and why VMSmail usually is configured to
receive mail with EXQUOTA.

If you must enforce a limit to prevent abuse of the JAN_RECEIVE area,
consider moving over-the-limit files to the Postmaster's area for
a time, from where the Postmaster can easily retrieve them after (your
choice) lecturing the user, charging a file, reporting the problem to
the user's department chair, etc.

With non-mail files, the equivalent of delivering the mail is when the
user RECEIVEs the file into their directory.  Are you suggesting that operation
be performed with EXQUOTA?

It just make the problem worse.  I can send all my files to myself, delete
them, build a bunch of new stuff up to my quota, then RECEIVE the original
files back.

I wonder if anyone has given them a complete, well thought out proposed
solution to the problem.
