    It is always a disservice to patrons to place an obstacle in the way of getting the materials they need. Allowing them the option of choosing a pick-up library is a convenience that many patrons in a statewide consortia use, due to online education. With the pandemic, members of a consortia have local decision-making on opening their buildings to anyone not of their campus community. Patrons select the option for pickup that is most convenient for them and this places a barrier in accessing their material. Software should solve obstacles, not create them.
