 **NLS Response:**  NLS will look at development of a model duplication-on-demand policy, but it is understood that network libraries will implement it as local staffing and resources are available. NLS currently ensures that cartridges and containers are available for purchase by network libraries at prices in parallel to those paid by NLS. The price of cartridges is pegged to market costs for flash memory (see NB 08-40 and OA 08-52). The NLS contract for cartridges ensures that network libraries can purchase from Northstar Systems, Inc., at the same cost as NLS.\\
