  2. Overview • Evergreen • INfo Express • Indiana Share • PLAC lending • Reciprocal Borrowing • Statewide • Local • Non-residents

  3. Evergreen Indiana • Consortium of 100+ public libraries located throughout the state. • Cardholders have access to collections of other libraries, ability to place holds/request delivery of materials. • Member libraries are eligible to join the eIndiana Digital OverDrive Consortium • Contact Anna Goben (agoben@library.in.gov) for more information.

  4. INfo Express • The statewide library courier service. • Public, school, academic, institutional and special libraries are eligible to participate. • Library selects number of service days based on standards requirements and need. • E.g. Class A = 3 days/week • Fees are subsidized for active (“net”) lenders. • Contact infoexpress@library.IN.gov for more info.

  5. Indiana SHARE • Centralized ILL service • ISL staff coordinate borrowing from other libraries statewide/nationwide. • Serving over 200 libraries. • Contact IN SHARE staff at share@library.in.gov

  6. PLAC Cards • Public Library Access Card • Allows individual to borrow materials from any public library in Indiana. • Fee is $50/year • Some restrictions • Ebooks, audio • Must have valid public library card in good standing

  7. PLAC Cards • Issuing libraries must submit Quarterly Report Form, remit fees • Report loans on Annual Report • Borrower’s home library • # of items borrowed • Receive reimbursement for net loans • (Number of loans provided) – (Your patrons loans) • Lenders may choose to issue local library cards for tracking purposes.

  8. Statewide Reciprocal Borrowing • Allows registered users from participating libraries (160+) to borrow books (in person) from other participating libraries across the state. • No PLAC needed • Libraries wishing to participate should complete covenant and return to ISL

  9. Local Reciprocal Borrowing • Any 2 or more libraries may sign a local reciprocal borrowing covenant to allow only those libraries to participate in a reciprocal borrowing program. • Again, no PLAC needed

  10. Non-Resident Fees • For residents of areas not served by a public library that wish to obtain a library card. • Libraries charge $25.00 or the library’s expenditure per capita, if greater. (May be higher.) • E.g. Pittsboro, IN residents are currently unserved. • Brownsburg Public Library charges $85/year • Clayton Public Library charges $40/year • Since both are part of a Hendricks County local reciprocal agreement, patron can use any of 5 participating libraries.

  11. Also recommended • Post your ILL policy/borrowing restrictions to your website to avoid confusion.
