+**Classification ratings for publications**
+While Library collections are largely exempt from classification we all need to be aware of the current legislation around classification categories and how they apply to the InterLibrary loans service.\\
+This becomes particularly important for items with a Category 1 or Category 2 restricted publications as these are prohibited in QLD.\\
+Current titles with a Category 1 Restricted rating include
+American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis\\
+The Boys (graphic novel) by Garth Ennis (Volumes 1,3,5)

+== National Library of Australia set to evolve national resource sharing ==
+Full media release[[https://www.nla.gov.au/news-and-media/media-releases/2024/national-library-australia-set-evolve-national-resource-sharing|here]]
+The National Library will be collaborating with CAVAL and Index Data to develop the service to tailor to Australia’s unique environment. This outcome is the result of an extensive engagement and research strategy with Trove Partners and a robust tender process to select an innovative solution.\\
+From mid-2025, Trove Partners will be able to access a new national resource sharing service with all the current core functions and a host of significant improvements.
+Libraries have always relied on extensive resource sharing networks to deliver inter-library loan and document delivery copy services. The new service will completely integrate with the Australian National Bibliographic Database. Other new features include:
+  * A reciprocal service model with no transaction-based fees, to keep costs down.
+  * The ability to set preferred Partners, including by region or library sector.
+  * Automated load balancing, removing the need to create manual lists of suppliers.
+  * A platform for future innovation and improved functionality.
