  1. What Does Electronic ILL Mean to You? Cherié L. Weible Acting Head of Central Access Services Associate Professor of Library Administration

  2. ILL at Illinois • Net Lender! • 65,954 Lending / 25,723 Borrowing • High volume • Variable workflow for materials in and out • Use ILLiad for all ILL requests (no fax, no email)

  3. e-ILL for Articles • Request for journal article from borrowing library • Via OCLC World Cat Resource Sharing or other ILL management system into ILLiad at Illinois • Staff check local holdings for e-journal via ILS or local e-journal system • Print article to paper and match with request • Scan and deliver via Odyssey to Borrowing Library

  4. e-ILL for e-books? • CHANGEis the one rule as academic libraries grapple with access and delivery • Clunky / cumbersome workflow if any at all • Licensing must allow for ILL • Want to provide access via ILL; not just local patrons • Delivery • User Needs

  5. Current (clunky) Workflow • e-content; specifically e-books • Licensing allows for a few chapters to be shared • each chapter / section is a separate download • multi-step for book chapters to be sent via ILL • No “real” ILL for e-books • e-readers / e-reading devices • Nook, Kindle, Sony Readers, i-Phone, i-Pad, Smartphone, etc. • Can’t deliver directly; need to go through multiple steps

  6. e-book Access • Limitations • e-books limited by campus IPs; can’t send link • Some vendors recognize and allow ILL • Technology needs to be developed to increase the access of e-books

  7. Delivery via ILL • File sizes need to be manageable and flexible • Small files; delivery to a variety of e-readers or other mechanism • Current count 20+ options at the public library! • 15+ not supported • Studies indicate that users prefer .pdf format • Not reasonable to expect ILL staff to download and save several chapters of a book, convert, attach, send

  8. User Needs • Academic Libraries / Users • Need longer loan periods than public libraries • Overdrive system (3 weeks) • Need renewal function • Expand purchase options for e-books after initial loan; currently have this for print books • Portable notes / marginalia function • Delivery: format important (.pdf preferred) • Discovery: local library catalog and internet
