She said that the expense of interoperability did not show a corresponding benefit. <br /> Vice-Chair McKee asked how many Orange County residents who are not in the Town of <br /> Chapel Hill use the Chapel Hill Public Library. <br /> Susan Brown said she would get that number to the Board. <br /> Vice-Chair McKee said he thought that funding for the Chapel Hill Public Library was <br /> contingent on interoperability. He asked if he misunderstood that condition. <br /> Commissioner Fowler said the only thing this would help us with is saving people from <br /> having to sign into two different libraries because everyone now has access to both sets. She <br /> said that making the computers interactive would only save users one sign-in versus two and it <br /> does not change access to what is available. <br /> Vice-Chair McKee said he thought it was stated that the sharing of volumes would result <br /> in increased wait times for Chapel Hill users. <br /> Susan Brown said that could result for any user, she only used that as an example. She <br /> said that the current MOU does not require interoperability. <br />
