Hi, Lenora et al! I am very interested in an ILL module too - having worked as an ILL librarian for several years it's one of the very few things that stand out as "missing" in Koha, in my eyes. I also think that Norwegian librarians are used to having this functionality integrated into their ILS, as opposed to et least some other countries, where I understand that the norm is to deal with this functionality outside of the ILS. Unfortunately, here in Norway we have our very own ILL standard or protocol, called NILL, which is documented, in Norwegian only, here: http://www.biblev.no/nill/ Basically the protocol consists of a set of XML messages that are passed between systems over e-mail(!). Now, NILL may or may not be of interest to libraries outside Norway, but I am thinking that at least some functionality will be of common interest, and that there could be a choice of different protocols, or an easy way to adapt the core functionality to different protocols. I am but a tiny vendor trying to attract my first customers, but I certainly hope to be able to find a library that could be interested enough in Koha to be willing to sponsor some work on ILL and NILL. In the meantime I am more than willing to contribute time and any knowledge on the subject that I may have, in order to help Koha get an ILL module up and running.
