This is partnership among libraries of all types. Delivery will be included in the final design. It is a key component. The system must be flexible enough to handle local options. Local libraries always have the ability to opt out or opt in.

One requirement of the new services will be the ability to return good statistics about use. The committee asked for a pithy statement of the task force's objective.
