The web-based service has attracted subscriptions from over 400 libraries across 4 separate library community groups over the last three years. Its success rests on distributing the workload among the participating libraries and providing a very low cost infrastructure for participating libraries. Libraries use the service on a subscription basis. Three library communities currently use the service:
library networks or establishing your own private network. Networks using Inter-Search
GratisNet: http://www.gratisnet.org.au (Gratisnet is a Health-focussed network of 350 libraries)
GLASS - http://www.glassdd.org (a network supporting the GLINN and LOTS consortia of NSW government and semi-governmental libraries)
QShare: http://www.qshare.org.au (a network of 15 Queensland government libraries)
Australasian Libraries in the Emergency Sector: http://www.alies.org.au a network of 28 libraries in Emergency Service. |
