==== CUL (Consortium of User Libraries) ====
Consortium of User Libraries (CUL) Software is a patron-centric, highly personalized automation system used by seven regional LBPHs in six states – one with subregional libraries and AOCs – for registration, circulation, equipment inventory, and related operations.  

The Consortium of User Libraries itself is a cooperative nonprofit organization made up of network libraries for the blind and physically handicapped (LBPHs) to develop and share an ongoing automation system for delivery of NLS services in their respective service areas. The payment of each CUL member library’s dues provides technical support and software maintenance, a voting right for each paying member, and the freedom as a group to decide on modifications and enhancements to the software. In addition, the cost of one attendee to the annual CUL meeting is included.
