Core Services - Value Added Sample Clauses
Core Services - Value Added. Libraries sometimes charge for services which provide greater ease of access, convenience or private benefit, and which may attract additional costs to the library service provider. These services are distinguished from the basic services listed above. They may have a higher level of value added by the library. Other services include:
(a) Use of remote online resources where access is only obtainable by payment of a specific per use charge, but excluding use of online resources which are paid for by subscriptions, site licenses or other non-use based charges;
(b) Providing access to loans from collections outside the public/State library network, such as academic, government or special libraries;
(c) Reserving specific items in library collections, such as bookclub stock;
(d) Providing printed or electronic copies of materials held or accessed by the library;
(e) Providing for public use standard office software, such as word processing and database software;
(f) Requiring staff to undertake research, to write reports, or to provide other high level support;
(g) Providing any service which attracts an external service charge, e.g. on-line database searching, speakers, theatre performances. In the case of services not defined as basic, the Wimmera Regional Library Corporation will be free to determine those services which would attract a charge providing that due consideration is given to the possible impact on neighbouring library services caused by such decisions. This schedule focuses on establishing the base level services and standards to apply to library services provided by the WRLC. By establishing a base level, the opportunity is created for the member councils to negotiate further council-specific services with the WRLC in order to customise services to the particular needs of their communities. This may take the form of additional services such as extended opening hours and/or providing different services not included within the base level.
