Re: Scope question: one server, several campuses

["Christine A. Haggstrom" <chaggstr@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello -

At C/W MARS in Massachusetts, we have two shared Innovative 
servers that are scoped for our member libraries - based on 
location codes.  Libraries may have one scope that includes their 
entire collection or the entire collection scope and a children's 
scope.  Both servers have a combination of both academic libraries 
and public libraries.

The Central Massachusetts server has 67 scopes and the Western 
Massachusetts server has 71.  And, we recently added an INN-
Reach server that sits between the two other servers.  We used to 
have only one server with over 100 scopes.  

I'm not sure what the goal of your survey is, but if I can assist in 
any way, please let me know.
