Access Plus

— filed under: access plus

Access Plus provides Iowans with equal access to library resources by encouraging and supporting interlibrary loan among all types of libraries.
Participating libraries agree to loan their materials to other libraries for use by their customers and receive a subsidy per loan.
More than 200,000 interlibrary loans are made annually through the program.

The intended reimbursement rate is $2.00 per transaction, although the rate of reimbursement is prorated if claims exceed the funding available.

The Access Plus Report Form for FY08 (below) is due August 31, 2008.
All items requested outside of SILO or OCLC, by phone, fax, or printed form must be recorded on the Transaction Log.
