BOSTON PUBLIC LIBRARY
Pay for Print
To Members of the Staff:
The Boston Public Library is presently planning a
Pay for Print Program, offered by Xerox Corporation
through an existing State Contract, for the
central library and each of its 27 branches.
The purpose of this type of program is to provide
affordable printing support for our patrons while at
the same time reducing excessive printing from public
workstations.
Prior to commencing a Pay for Print Program, Xerox must
perform lots of pre-work, commonly referred to as
"Due Diligence".
Due Diligence is primarily capturing data regarding
the physical layout of the central library and our
branches and the workstations and printers being used
by our patrons.
The data gathered during the Due Diligence process
will aid us in evaluating our present requirements.
Additionally, the library will convene a
cross-functional "Pay for Print Group" to discuss
and/or establish the policies associated with a Pay
for Print Program and how the library should implement
the program.
Input from the Pay for Print group coupled with the
Due Diligence will assist in determining how a
Pay for Print Program should be configured and
implemented to deliver the service levels we wish to
provide to our patrons.
Xerox has worked with other large libraries in
instituting this type of solution.
The Xerox team will be visiting the central library
and the branches from July 30th through August 17th to
gather information.
Each of the Xerox team members will be wearing a Xerox
badge.
Pay for Print is an important initiative and FY02
budget commitment for the Boston Public Library.
Your input and cooperation is critical to its success.
If you have any questions, please direct them to
Edward Maheigan, Business Office Budget
and Procurement Manager at
tel 617.536.5400 x2364
http://www.bpl.org/mbln/ilsrfp.asp
Ed will be serving as Project Manager for this
implementation and will work with Xerox to conduct the
Due Diligence within our organization.
Thank you in advance for your patience, input, and
cooperation.
