LAND - Libraries and Nylink Deliver

LAND is a closed delivery system, administered by Nylink, that allows libraries to send and receive an unlimited amount of material to other participating libraries. It is a key building block in Nylink’s broader statewide resource sharing initiative, which also includes an annual Resource Sharing Summit, Discovery and Delivery Working Groups, and collaboration on the IDS program. There are over 100 LAND participants across New York state.

Our goal is to provide timely access to the collective library resources of LAND participants.

Advantages of the service:

  • Fixed costs: unlimited shipping for one annual fee means easy budgeting for delivery needs.
  • Fast: rapid turn-around time.
  • Green: quick, easy and reusable packaging.
