Lenders of Last Resort
Lenders of Last Resort
MAAC considers the lenders of last resort to be those MOBIUS libraries that have a non-returnable lending/borrowing ratio of 2.5:1 or greater, do enough lending that this ratio presents a hardship for them, and therefore, do not choose to opt out of appearing on the list.
The MAAC evaluates the latest quarterly MOBIUS statistics at each meeting and adjusts this list accordingly. In respecting this list, MOBIUS libraries would make every effort to obtain free copies of articles by any means available to them either in Missouri or out before moving to borrow the material from one of the listed libraries.
Revised February 11, 2013
Current Lenders of Last Resort libraries:
(MUU) University of Missouri - Columbia - MU 12.9
(ELW) Eden-Webster - 2.8
The next update by MAAC will be announced after the April 2013 meeting.
The members who have opted out of appearing on this list are:
- (MOG) Assemblies of God Theological Seminary - AGTS
- (MSB) Baptist Bible College - BBC
- (CCF) Cottey College - Cottey
- (MO4) Crowder College - Crowder
- (MOD) Drury University - DU
- (LIU) Lincoln University - LU
- (MJCE) Metroplitan Community College - Longview - MCC-LV
- (MJCI) Metropolitan Community College - Maple Woods - MCC-MW
- (MJCA) Metropolitan Community College - Penn Valley - MCC-PV
- (MOL) Missouri State Library - MOSL
- (MOU) Missouri State University - MSU
- (MX8) Mineral Area College - MAC
- (MNW) Northwest Missouri State University - NWMSU
- (MOB) Southwest Baptist University - SBU
- (ML6) Three Rivers Commuity College - TRCC
- (MKN) Truman State University - TSU
- (WW9) William Woods University - WWU
The ratio is found on Line 29 of the Borrowing and Lending Statistics located at:
http://mobiusconsortium.org/view-lending-borrowing-statistics
The ratio is determined from dividing line 11 (Non-returnable ILL lending with MOBIUS members) by Line 24 (Non-returnable ILL borrowing with MOBIUS members).
