In response to demand, Inter-Library Services of the National Library of
Scotland circulated Scottish libraries with a Proposal to introduce a
Scottish ILL Rate (SILLR) of £4.50 (reviewable annually) for loans
supplied between Scottish libraries. Replies show that 147 libraries
(56.3% ) across all sectors accepted the Proposal and it will,
therefore, be introduced with effect from 1 October.
A letter is in the process of being sent to all libraries which
responded to the Proposal.
Details of the libraries participating in SILLR will be posted on the
NLS website (http://www.nls.uk) as soon as possible.
A Scottish Region ILL request form is being devised for the use of those
libraries which have expressed interest in having one.
SILLR will ‘tie in’, operationally, with the recently announced CONARLS
scheme.
Scottish libraries which have not yet agreed to SILLR can still do so by
contacting the undersigned. I shall also be happy to answer any
queries.
