Kudzu-Ops Mailing List: FW: University of Arkansas Libraries participation in KUDZU

[John Burger (jburger]

Hey, Kudzu-istas!

 

AFU is ready to join Kudzu, using UPS as their shipper for physical items.  They can start as early as March 1.  Anything else they / we need to do for them to start?  Please advise.

 

Thanks.

John,

 

We are going to use our existing UPS service for our Kudzu participation. I think we are ready to go on our end, so how about a March 1 start date?

 

Thanks,

 

Jason

Great!  I think this is all we need.  The decision on which delivery service you want to use can remain open for now.

 

NEXT QUESTION:  What should be your official start date as a Kudzu participant?  Let me confer with my resource sharing folks to see if there are any issues/data points we need to consider from our end as well.

 

Thanks so much!  I hope you are enjoy the snowfall.

Hi John,

 

Tess reached out to me about her recommendation for our participation in KUDZU. I am supportive and have communicated with our shipping folks about this as well. As she reminded me, we do need to resolve an internal question about whether our state UPS contracted discount is greater than the 65% FedEx discount you all have. I'm working on getting that information.

 

If there is anything additional that I need to provide, please let me know.

 

Thanks,

 

Jason
