All libraries receiving direct van delivery are required to complete a quarterly delivery count. To ensure that the count is performed and the data is entered on time, we ask all library directors to review the list of library staff designated as a System Delivery Contact to receive notices and reminders for each delivery count.
Please perform this review every quarter.
First, Log in to the RAILS website with your Library Learning (L2) credentials and navigate to the Delivery page.
Second, View the list of staff members who are designated as a System Delivery Contact. 
Third, log into L2 to add or remove staff from the list.
Method 1 - The Director adds staff to the delivery contact list:
- Click on the staff member’s name in the L2 library staff list.
- Click the Edit link to the right of the location affiliation. (This must be the building that receives direct delivery. Accounts set to Private cannot be edited.)
- Select the checkbox for the Key Contact-Regional System: System Delivery Contact
- Click the SAVE button.
(To remove staff from the list, follow the same instructions but uncheck the box.)
Method 2 - The Staff member adds their name to the list:
The staff member can update their own account to be added to the delivery contact list. Click on the link to add the "System Delivery Contact" for instructions. (To remove staff from the list, follow the same instructions but uncheck the box.)
The remaining FY 2024 delivery counts are scheduled on:
- February 5 - 9, 2024
- May 6 - 10, 2024
The delivery count form is posted one week before the count date. Library staff with an L2 account affiliated with a building that receives direct delivery can log in to the RAILS website delivery count page and familiarize themselves with the count form when it becomes available.
Thank you in advance for helping to ensure the quarterly delivery counts are completed accurately and timely by updating the System Delivery Contacts for your library.
Questions about the delivery count should be directed to railsdelivery@railslibraries.org. For assistance with an L2 account, contact help@librarylearning.org.
