ALIA REPOSITORY
The Interlibrary Resource Sharing (ILRS) Code sets out best practice standards for Australian libraries providing Resource sharing services. It is designed to benefit Australian libraries and their users by providing greater predictability, consistency, and flexibility in obtaining materials.
The ILRS Code works with the Best Practice Guidelines to support a multi-faceted approach to resource sharing based on reciprocity, cooperation and fairness between libraries, respect for the moral and intellectual rights of creators and publishers, and compliance with legal and contractual obligations.
The ILRS Code has been endorsed by the Australian Library Peak bodies including Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA), National and State Libraries Australasia (NSLA), the Council of Australian University Librarians (CAUL) and the National Library of Australia.
