Thing 16: MnLINK

I am a user of MnLink. But there are difficulties. I try to collaborate with my Chaska and Chanhassen Public Libraries but it takes a minimum of 3 weeks to bring other items in from libraries outside of our region. Almost daily, I am requesting or looking up materials for my students to obtain from either of these branches as many of my students have cars and can go immediately after school to pick up. We are fortunate, here in Chaska that we have a Union Library Catalog and get items from any library in our district in a minimum of 2 days, most within 1 say. Students really appreciate and it helps us in that we don't have to continue to purchase multiple copies of many resources.
