Costs
With courier costs, each library situation is unique and is dependent on local interlibrary loan practices. Costs are calculated annually on behalf of participating libraries, and are a direct result of the previous year’s resource-sharing activity. CLiC has two goals:
- Continue to encourage resource sharing and to maintain affordable pricing for libraries that voluntarily participate in the Courier service.
- Ensure sustainability of the statewide Courier service by maintaining predictability in libraries’ costs while still allowing CLiC to “pay the bills” associated with operation of the statewide service, which has handled more than 2.6 million physical items each of the past two years.
