Post-Secondary Preferred Lender Lists
At the December 2019 All Partner Meeting (APM), BC ELN Partner Libraries brought a recommendation forward to the Steering Committee that ILL transaction fees for non-returnable items should be eliminated within the BC ELN consortium, with the understanding that identified considerations will be addressed through Benefits & Responsibilities and Best Practices documentation.
As part of the Best Practices recommendations, Academic libraries should optimize their Preferred Lender List for post-secondary Copy requesting, rather than Loan requesting using the BC ELN recommendations below. Academic Copy Preferred Lender Lists are organized from smallest to largest library (by current year student FTE), regardless of geography or institution-type (eg. College or University), for all post-secondary lending institutions. Public library lenders are not included below as they are separately pulled in, after post-secondary lenders, via the System-wide lender list.
Please Note: Preferred Lender List recommendations for Public Libraries are not made by the Illume Administrative Support Centre. Check-out our FAQ for more information: https://illumebc.ca/faq-public-preferred-lender-lists
