Kudzu-Ops Mailing List: REMINDER: RAPID-R Web-Demonstration on THURSDAY

[John Burger (jburger]

ASERL Friends:

A quick reminder that later this week we will host a web-demonstration of 
RAPID-R, the software system developed at Colorado State University to manage 
the borrowing/lending of returnable items.  The current registration list is 
below, FYI.  The key features of RapidR are: 
   . 24-hour response by the lending library 
   . Expedited delivery 
   . Real-time availability check 
   . Dynamic load-leveling 
   . 90% or better fill rate 

RapidR utilizes an enhanced load-leveling process that efficiently routes 
requests to lenders in order to minimize shipping costs. The routing algorithm 
includes these criteria: 
   . Availability 
   . Lender request volume 
   . Courier grouping 
   . Geographical awareness 
   . Rapid pod priority
