This co-operative service enables library authorities to purchase materials more easily, and in confidence, for languages where they do not have a local specialist. The supply of MARC records also enables library authorities to gain efficiencies in cataloguing.

• Benefit from working with specialist professional book sellers
• Enables libraries to share the benefits of centralised cataloguing
• Libraries can benefit from sharing knowledge about the support of Indic language speaking communities through attending the book selection meetings
