Hi all,

I have some changes to propose to wiki page, and I wanted to make them transparent in case they represent disagreements instead of clarifications. Let me know what you think:

* I believe the relationship should be library-to-library for both the mediated and unmediated models

* The systems listed for mediated also support unmediated processes 

* I wonder if we should just collapse these and note in the description that this model can be mediated or unmediated. They're virtually identical otherwise, and I don't think the mediation aspect is that significant to us (see below).

Mediated vs. unmediated

* I don't think the definitions here are consistent with the way I usually hear these terms used. This is what I'd propose:

* Mediated: Patron requests are routed to a patron library staff member, who must review and approve them before they are sent to an owning library

* Unmediated: Patron requests are made directly to the owning library without prior approval by the patron library

* This is usually an internal setting within a system like Relais, often decided at the consortial level. It's not really relevant when considering a walk-in model.

Cross-tenant unmediated

* I was under the impression from Kelly's description that she wanted the relationship here to be library to library -- i.e., the owning library checks out the item to the patron library, then the patron library checks out the item to the patron. Then, if the material is overdue, it's the patron library that's on the hook, not the patron. Is that right? Or is there variation in how this model works?

Thanks,

Kristen
