My local University is the same way. Students and faculty automatically get access, but community and alumni can get access by paying fees. Is access=members an option? It implies that you have to become a member according to some criteria, but that membership is possible for a large swath of

Certainly, it is a good idea. There is the list of 32 countries on the  page: https://english.slks.dk/libraries/library-standards/isil/ . Does it mean that other countries did not join the ISIL classification yet? I wanted to add an ISIL code for a library in a country which is not in this

There is an international standard identifier for libraries, "ISIL" / ISO 15511, maintained by the Danish *Slots- og Kulturstyrelsen*, which I would recommend to add: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:ref:isil Cheers Martin ___ talk mailing list

Some questions.. Who will use this information in OSM? In particular ISIL information appears to be, in Australia, for contact between libraries and they will already have systems in place for that so adding that information may not help anyone. The library collection (books/films/etc), use

We are generally aware of the importance of the libraries, as they are numerous and useful by their variety (public, academic, specialized, school…). But, why they have been so neglected by us, the mappers, seing them on the ground, getting maybe frequently in ? So poors are the tags for
