Agenda
1. Welcome and introductions

3. Confirmation of August 2023 minutes Kris, Sutherland ; Anne, City of Sydney
4. Actions arising from previous meeting
Charging for Inter library loans: Survey on ILL charges sent out with RSVP to the December meeting. 34 responses were collected. Prices ranged from free up to $9.00 Berrigan Shire ; $7.50 Georges River and Ku-ring-Gai with majority sitting around $5.00.
o Liverpool – no charge unless Uni
o Sutherland – no fees if junior items and on Metro Van run
o Cumberland – outside of LGA charges but within LGA and HLS free if reciprocal. Cumberland also currently doesn’t charge Universities but this only came in 3 years ago with potential amendments in the works
o Query regarding charges for home library borrowers? General consensus is only if sourced from Universities then fee passed on. Action: Survey to be resent with added column for HLS ILL fees if any
