Delivery 

This project is providing faster and more efficient access to library materials across all NSLA libraries. The development of reciprocal lending and copying agreements along with a standard service delivery model across all NSLA libraries will mean that library users can request digital material from any State or national Library and have improved choices for how, when and where they access books and documents. In addition to existing online delivery services, the project is piloting home delivery of some library materials.

Achievements

• Preliminary work undertaken for State Library of Western Australia home delivery pilot.
• Position statement on document supply developed.
• Publication of model A across NSLA websites (preferred inter-library model for the ordering and delivery of digital copies of library materials).
