Sorry for the duplication. But this is an
important issue, especially for the rural areas of the Atlantic region.
Thanks,
Jen

Subject: [cla] Needed: a few
volunteers to help build the next generation ofthe Library Mail Rate processing
system
Canada Post is changing how libraries will be
required to produce shipping labels and pay for postage for packages shipped via
the Library Mail Rate (Library Book Rate).
The new process will involve an on-line order
entry system. Canada Post needs a few volunteers to validate and suggest
enhancements to its model.
If you:
* have some experience in processing shipments
using the Library Book Rate;
* are interested in helping build a tool you and
your colleagues will be using;
* are available Thursday, July 7, 10 a.m. to
11:30 a.m. Eastern Time with a telephone and Internet access;
please submit your name, e-mail address and the
size of your library (rough estimate of your library’s total expenditures
for a year*) to CLA Executive Director Don Butcher, [log in to unmask]
as soon as possible. CLA has only four or five positions to fill, so not all
volunteers will necessarily be able to participate at this point.
(* Canada Post needs to be able to serve the
whole range of libraries, so we need to supply volunteers from small, mid-size
and large libraries).
CLA and Canada Post apologize for the short
notice. More information on the new system will be made public
shortly.
