I remember that some time ago a company called Relais International released their ILL software as Open Source - so maybe this means ILL is seen as a stand-alone application, rather than something that should be integrated into the ILS? http://www.relais-intl.com/relais/home/index.htm

I've seen ILL implemented as checking out to an ILL "borrower" even on "big name" systems. I'm sure we could do better, but I'm not aware of current ILS-ILL standards. Are there any particularly useful ones?

I'm not very familiar with the relevant standards, but there seems to be something called ISO ILL? http://www.oclc.org/isoill/default.htm In Norway we have a standard called NILL: http://www.biblev.no/nill/ But that's probably only relevant to us, and the spec is only available in Norwegian... :-( Regards, Magnus
