VSAM Demystified has a short (a couple paragraphs) blurb about BLSR as well.

All, Unfortunately, I have to date myself a bit, but back in the 90's while with IBM, I implemented batch LSR on some VSAM batch jobs that significantly reduced some batch jobs run time and overall CPU usage - Hours to minutes and ~75% reduction in CPU time. I have now the need to use Batch LSR and work with applications team that owns a job, but can't locate the current Batch LSR documentation as it applies to ZOS (we are 2.5 shop). I'm now using ZBNA to do similar things on my current account (btw I can't say enough good things about ZBNA - thanks to John Burg and WSC team! I've looked on IBM's documentation and Book Manager sites and cannot locate. I've found some references via Google search and searched this forum / archives and see references that the document is out there in either the MVS collection (possibly OS/390 collection too), but truly not sure where to locate this invaluable documentation anymore, but certainly thought there would be a current version of the doc(?) somewhere online - but maybe not. Any IBMers out here monitoring this forum, can we get a current version in ZOS documentation? So here is best document number and name of document that I know of based online searches: GC26-1672 Batch Local Shared Resources If anyone has this document you can just email it to me at steven.es...@peraton.com as PDF file.
