SP Vouchers Glasgow

[Montrose Budie]

This initial, trial offer is available via a number of Scottish libraries, and, before anyone asks, - No!, I don't have a full list!

I believe that it has been suggested to GROS that overseas libraries and even organsiations such as NZSG/Auckland Library should also be included in the scheme, but this suggestion has so far not been taken up as far as I'm aware; as such libraries don't fall within the remit of the UK legislation that is the driver for GROS to encourage access via Scottish libraries, especially involving those who are not 'web connected' at home.

There is also an argument against the inclusion of overseas libraries on the basis of why should UK taxpayers subsidise the patrons of such libraries? Whether or not I agree with that argument is a different question !


Note that any overseas FHS that is a full member of SAFHS should be able to access the vouchers bulk purchase arrangement between SAFHS and GROS, at a price of £4.80/30 credits, always assuming that the FHS involved is prepared to sell the vouchers to members at this price!

I did suggest when I got my survey from Scotland's people last week that the had a sliding scale of credits eg give extra credits for bulk purchases as at the moment its all the same no matter how many you buy be good if you could buy 30 and get some free buy 60 and get even more free ect
