reciprocal borrowing and MeLCat state-wide resource sharing. All
DALNET members are encouraged to expand access to library
materials for their library users by joining these resource sharing
programs for borrowing and lending print and audio-visual materials.
In
addition, to continue to promote resource sharing, the DALNET Board
voted last month to continue financial subsidies for the RIDES
state-wide delivery program for all members that continue to find
value in this financial benefit of DALNET membership.
