Rhode Island Delivery Index, including 3-letter codes
The Massachusetts Library System (MLS) and the Rhode Island Office of Library and Information Services (OLIS) have teamed up to provide free delivery courier services to member libraries in each state who participate in the interstate delivery program. This partnership gives our members access to more resources, fosters interstate fellowship, and reduces postage costs, particularly benefiting our members who routinely request items that can be requested through delivery only.
For our member public libraries, taking part in interstate delivery is easy. Please submit your requests in the usual manner, and if the item is available at a participating Rhode Island library, we'll forward your request to that institution. They should let us know if they can lend, and we'll send you an email through Clio, alerting you to the fact that you will be receiving an item from RI. You can update the request as you always do in Clio. When it comes time to return the resource, please use the special RI Delivery Slips and the three-letter codes.
For participating academic libraries in Massachusetts, please visit our handy guide for more information.
