Hmm. An idea - feel free to ignore as I'm not a day to day practitioner and don't know about the real world feasibility of this.
Would it make sense for institutions to make a publicly viewable list of total pending claims against all partners, say on a read only google sheet doc;
And then everyone compare against others - and if there's near parity of lending and borrowing (say, within +/- 10%) with particular partners, just agree on both sides to waive?
e.g. if we're claiming for 10 loans sent to Glasgow, and they're claiming for 9 loans we've got from them, just agree to drop the claims on both sides.
It would take a bit of central co-ordination, you would have to have something like a "sheet of sheets" source of truth with links to each institution, but I don't think it would be too onerous.
It would mean a bit of effort for institutions to work out themselves; and might only result in an overall 20-30% drop in claims for the BL to process if every HEI did it.
But I imagine they would appreciate some distribution of work from the community, and not have a massive workload unceremoniously dumped into their in-tray on the first day they open their door back up for business. Any drop in the number of claims they have to work through would surely be welcomed by them.
What do others think?
Thanks,
Kevin

Hi Everyone,
We also have a very high number of claims to be processed (>2000) and I've been worried about overloading their system if others are in a similar position! I guess we might just need to wait and see what BL suggest - they may prefer every library only to submit a certain number per day to spread things out?
Fingers crossed things will be back up and running soon though.

Hi Lucy
We will want to submit our claims as soon as we can as we are owed quite a lot of money (being a net supplier). However, it is going to be a mammoth task for us so it will probably take several months (plus) to get everything submitted anyway. We normally submit a couple of weeks worth every two weeks, so it will really need to be all hands on deck to get through the backlog and with a very small team, it is going to be a very time consuming process.
Have you heard any more as to when the claim form will be up and running again? I heard that they are testing it but no time frame.
Best wishes

Subject: Preparation for British Library claims
Hi everyone,
We are preparing for when the British Library claims are available (hopefully in the next couple months). We were wondering about staggering our claims and not submitting them all at once so they can be spread over a few months. I wondered if anyone else was planning something similar?
Many thanks,
Lucy

Hello
It depends on how we will be submitting, if it's a quicker process than before, but we were thinking of submitting in small batches at a time.
Agree it also depends on how much BL will be able to cope with.
Best wishes,
Vicky
