<div dir="ltr"><div>Hello Coordinators,</div><div><br></div><div>We're having an ongoing conversation about reimbursements for Lender and Borrower support grants here at the Utah State Library. Libraries complain about all the receipts they must save and submit in order to be reimbursed. I'd love to get rid of that requirement. I wonder how those of you offering this type of support handle this?</div><div><br></div><div>Background:</div><div><ul><li>We at USL decide eligibility and award with an internal formula; eligible recipients receive an award letter from us and then must complete an "application" in our grants portal (Salesforce) which then allows us to process award payments to them.</li><li>For LSTA2025 we have allowed up to $3,000 towards OCLC costs, since they need that software add-on to participate. This also reduces the number of receipts they need to submit to meet their award amount.</li><li>Any libraries qualifying for an award above the $3K must submit ILL receipts. We all dislike this because it's a time burden.</li><li>Of course, we have access to the ILL data and know the volume for each library</li><li>The most recent data I find on cost per ILL is through a <a href="https://www.oclc.org/research/areas/systemwide-library/interlibrary-cost-calculator.html">new tool from OCLC</a>, which appears to have data from only five libraries as of today... I might be interested in suggesting our libraries participate in this, depending on what I hear from you all</li></ul><div>Thanks in advance for your input!</div></div><div>Melanie</div><div><br></div><span class="gmail_signature_prefix">-- </span><br><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><span><div dir="ltr" style="margin-left:0pt" align="left"><table style="border:none;border-collapse:collapse;table-layout:fixed;width:468pt"><colgroup><col></colgroup><tbody><tr style="height:0pt"><td style="vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.656;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Open Sans",sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;vertical-align:baseline">Melanie Boyd</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.656;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><font color="#666666"><b>Grants Coordinator and Library Consultant</b></font></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.656;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><a href="https://library.utah.gov/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Open Sans",sans-serif;color:rgb(17,85,204);background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline">State Library Division</span></a><span style="background-color:transparent;font-size:10pt;font-family:"Open Sans",sans-serif;color:rgb(102,102,102);vertical-align:baseline"> | office 801.715.6740  mobile 801.535.2513</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.44;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Open Sans",sans-serif;color:rgb(102,102,102);background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline">250 North 1950 West, Ste. A</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.656;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Open Sans",sans-serif;color:rgb(102,102,102);background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline">Salt Lake City, Utah 84116-7901</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.656;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/UtahStateLibrary/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Open Sans",sans-serif;color:rgb(17,85,204);background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline"><span style="border:none;display:inline-block;overflow:hidden;width:22px;height:22px"><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXewW6yYy5vx4_-Dyco_21TjTBnWvGpHJyoEsIfrbbKfd03k3CyTSW7LD-rOmfXRfrwJhYXtvDcltsF5apBGnuZbypGIdpeUFeWcOEUqWw-F13QGvYm7NWORuwosDPCcqjcwkKh_IyzPtgQIWIe4pza8SIlw?key=PZ8Sr5dBG0fRprunWdf_Ww" width="22" height="22" style="margin-left:0px;margin-top:0px"></span></span></a><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:"Open Sans",sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline"> </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/utahstatelibrary/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Open Sans",sans-serif;color:rgb(17,85,204);background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline"><span style="border:none;display:inline-block;overflow:hidden;width:23px;height:22px"><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXeeXOH__rFvfSOyh2cv0Yk7GhphGF4Iu2VF-3ZiptkGfmb1WoKK-xCeSwwAWjqVX1lech64x-cgbLUI1lUoFionlRtw9vuML_wbLIxeptjEdtxFdsHhZg89qhOEkpJ8hS9IRzssaDWOC4hxaywKpvHtAQU?key=PZ8Sr5dBG0fRprunWdf_Ww" width="23" height="22" style="margin-left:0px;margin-top:0px"></span></span></a></p><br><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.656;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><a href="https://library.utah.gov/publications/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:
