Project Loan is an interlibrary loan reimbursement program for Texas public libraries developed by the Texas State Library and Archives Commission (TSLAC). The program, begun in 1998, reimburses Texas public libraries a portion of their costs for providing loans to other Texas public libraries. Through Project Loan grants, libraries are reimbursed at a fixed rate per net loan.
Elections to the Amigos Board of Directors highlighted the 55th Amigos Membership Meeting held May 15 in conjunction with the annual Amigos Member Conference. Board members along with Amigos President and Chief Executive Officer Bonnie Juergens participated in the online meeting from the Amigos offices in Dallas.
At its May 14 meeting in Dallas, the Amigos Board of Directors approved a recommendation from management to conduct a pilot project in FY2014. The project will focus on development of an e-book distribution platform for libraries, allowing them to obtain purchased, or “perpetual access,” e-books as well as leased e-books. Amigos has submitted a grant proposal to the Texas State Library and Archives Commission to provide funding assistance for the project.
