Funding is still available for your library to begin or improve electronic document delivery (EDD) service. DOCLINE libraries can use awards to:

• Purchase a scanner;
• Obtain ILL management software that has an EDD function;
• Obtain software for sending and receiving documents via the Internet;
• Upgrade your photocopier to a multifunction machine that can scan and send;
• Upgrade your Internet connectivity;
• Reimburse IT staff costs for consulting and/or programming; or
• A combination of the above

Awards are for up to $2,000, and requests are due by January 31^st 2005. Hospital libraries that are not presently able to offer EDD service receive priority for this funding.
