Ellison Dies Resource Sharing Project
In the spirit of cooperation
and in an effort to reduce
costs for our members,
several Regional Library
Systems joined together and
formed the Ellison Dies
Resource Sharing Project. This project
began in January 2000, and has had tre-
mendous success over the past four
years.
The premise of the program is to allow
participating libraries the ability to
borrow dies owned by other libraries.
This pool of dies allows libraries a much
larger selection without the added cost
of purchasing additional dies.
Current number of dies in the program
exceeds 2200.
As of January 2005, there are over 50
libraries participating in this program.
The database is housed and maintained
by the Northeast Ohio Regional Library
System and is updated quarterly.
There is no fee to participate in this
program.
