CBUC consortial borrowing background

• In 1998, the CBUC union catalog makes possible to initiate a consortiated ILL service thanks to:– CBUC ILL rules– a private courier to send the documents– a protocol to ensure the replacement of books in case of loss

or theft.• It works through the traditional ILL services of every consortiated

institution .• It works with a ILL Spanish software out of the union catalog

system.• The user must pay.• The academics are the main users.

This service works like that until the end of 2011.

The PUC consortial borrowing (I)

• In 2009, CBUC institutions considered that it would be necessary to approach library collections to the users.

• And they decided to implement a consortial borrowing system that began in late 2011. It was named PUC that in Catalan means ‘I can do that!’.
