FIVE YEARS ADVISING

Abstract

The Advisory Committee for L ending Services is comprised mainly of senior, experienced professionals from all types of library. The Committee has wide terms of reference from which several main themes of discussion have emerged: acquisitions policy, service quality, costs and prices, photocopies and copyright. The main acquisitions topics discussed have been the level of material acquired and acquisitions priorities if there were financial restrictions. Speed of service has been discussed several times, and costs and prices have been a matter of special concern. The Committee is a forum through which the Lending Division can learn the needs of the users and the library profession can put forward suggestions, criticisms and views on interlending.
