For the past year, the IRU scheme has been limited to libraries in
membership
of the various regional library systems (RLS). At its meeting last
week,
CONARLS (The Circle of Officers of National and Regional Library
Systems) agreed to open the Scheme to all UK and Irish libraries which
may wish to participate, regardless of whether or not they are RLS
members.
The only requirements are that participants:-
1. have a BLDSC Customer Code number
2. follow the 'rules' of the Scheme (see http://thenortheast.com/conarls
for details)
3. register with CONARLS so that everyone knows who is participating.
If you would like to register for the Scheme (no charges involved), or
require information additional to that on the CONARLS website, please
contact me (details below).
NB: The current rate for loans for participants is 5.00GBP with
credits/debits being handled via the BLDSC Banker Function. Photocopies
are at standard BLDSC rate, currently 3.91GBP + VAT.
