LAND Delivery Service
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. There are 110 LAND participants across New York state, including academic, public and health sciences libraries, and the New York State Library.
In 2008, 112 libraries saved at least $700,000 in postage and shipping supplies by using the Nylink LAND Delivery Service. LAND handled more than 319,000 items last year.
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.
- Need more bags?
- We will have to confirm your request by emailing you before the bags are sent.
