Kevin, Thanks for this. Is the option still there to send in extra theses ourselves if we can though? Or is the only option to carry funds over to 09/10?

None of the purchase orders sent through have been processed yet (except those that we were specifically asked to process) for this reason. The funds loaded onto the system will carry over from one year to the next. Institutions that have signed-up will be invoiced when the service goes live and any funds that are left at the end of the period will be carried over. I hope that answers your query, but please come back to me if you need any further information.

I realise we can 'top-up' towards the end of the year by choosing theses ourselves to send in for digitisation, but with the delay to the start of the service this is probably going to be rather a lot more than it otherwise would have been and might end up being quite a demand on library time and resources. How much notice will we get to meet our shortfall, and will there be a deadline to send in our 'top-up' theses by?
