Nylink

IFLA Vouchers

Does your library borrow internationally? Nylink now offers IFLA (International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions) vouchers that simplify paying for international interlibrary loans. Available in two denominations, full voucher and half voucher, vouchers have unlimited validity and can be reused several times.

When a lender agrees to accept a voucher as payment, that library keeps the voucher to be reused at a later date when it is a borrower.

Lenders are encouraged by IFLA to accept a standard payment of one full voucher for supplying one loan or a photocopy of up to 15 pages. Libraries may charge more or less as they see fit.

IFLA requires a minimum purchase of EUR 100. Nylink allows US libraries to purchase only the number of IFLA vouchers they need. Purchasing these vouchers through Nylink also eliminates the need to purchase euros, and to convert dollars to euros.

Benefits

• Pay for interlibrary loan transactions for materials in libraries from outside the United States.
• Purchase IFLA vouchers in smaller denominations than the minimum IFLA purchase of EUR 100.
• Eliminate the need to purchase euros and to convert dollars to euros.
