Chris et al

As has been said before, there will be a list of CONARLS rate participants going on the CONARLS website.  The list is being compiled from information provided by the different regional library systems.

Libraries not on the list are deemed to be operating standard BLDSC charges therefore you are correct - there are differential rates of which requesters can take advantage.  The differential rates only apply to loans, however, not photocopies where the same situation exists as before - ie: the BLDSC rate of £3.80+VAT will apply where it did before.

If anyone is desperate to have it, I could e-mail them (as an Excel spreadsheet) the current list of Scottish libraries (circa. 140) participating in the CONARLS scheme but I imagine a unified list on the latter's website would be of greater use.  The list is arranged by BLDSC code.

Hi all,

Sorry to appear slow on the uptake, but just to make absolutely sure.

Am I to understand that the libraries indicating that they intend to
continue charging the same as BLDSC, will actually be charging differential
loan and photocopy rates, and will not be party to the recent CONARLS
agreement.

In effect, those who might be attempting to avoid BLDSC's location searching
fees, will not only be searching for their own locations but will have to be
mindful of the different rates different institutions are charging.

Is anyone producing a list?

Cheers
