Introducing SRCS!
You may have heard that there are changes coming to the library’s InterLibrary Loan program. We are now part of a new statewide initiative called SRCS: Statewide Remote Circulation Service.
What is SRCS?
SRCS, Indiana’s Statewide Remote Circulation Service, links together the catalogs of multiple Indiana libraries into a single interface which allows authorized users to search the library collections of over 150 Hoosier libraries and then to place requests for materials owned any of those participating libraries. The requested materials will be delivered to the user’s home library for their use.
How do you pronounce SRCS?
SRCS is pronounced like “Circs”
What does SRCS do?
The purpose of SRCS is to offer a virtual Indiana union catalog for participating libraries through which patrons can request materials from other participating library systems and have them delivered to their local library using the InfoExpress library courier.
How long do materials circulate on SRCS?
The recommendation of the Resource Sharing Committee is for the minimum loan period for all materials in SRCS to be 21 days.
How are renewals handled?
Patrons can log into SRCS and view the status or request renewals for their active requests. It is up to the owning library to either grant or deny this renewal request.
How big is this virtual union catalog?
Phase I of SRCS includes 52 academic libraries, 113 public libraries and 2 special libraries, including the Indiana State Library. That combined catalog contains over 30 million items. That is larger than the collections of Library of Congress or Harvard University Library. Continue Reading →
