Hello Koha community! I am looking for feedback regarding your ILL process. Do you use Koha at all in the process or do you use a separate software entirely, or a combination of the two? We currently use a combination of Koha for charging patrons when necessary and OCLC WorldShare for tracking. Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! -- Sarah Fletcher Library Systems Manager North Central Regional Library 16 North Columbia Street Wenatchee, WA 98801 509-663-1117 x101
Hi there Sarah! We use ILLiad for ILL, as many university libraries do. For lending, we check in/out the material lent in ILLiad and then check in/out to an ILL patron in Koha. We are working with ByWater Solutions and Atlas to enable NCIP v2 (or another protocol) for ILLiad to communicate directly with Koha, which would eliminate the extra check in/out step. For borrowing, we just check out materials to our patrons in their ILLiad account, and we can bill for lost or overdue items in Koha if neccessary.

Hi Sarah-- We also use Koha and WorldShare ILL. We have two streams depending on whether the library is borrowing or lending. For lending, the ILL person checks requests in WorldShare against our catalog. If the item is in the catalog and is available in Koha, we check the item out to an ILL account, then respond in WorldShare, and send the piece on its way to the requesting library. For items requested by our library patrons, the ILL person searches WorldShare and places a request. When that item comes to the library, it's received in WorldShare, then in Koha we create a brief record (usually author, title, call number OF ILL [YEAR] [MONTH], item type INTERLIBRARY LOAN. When we create the item record, we use the barcode from WorldShare. Then, the item is checked out to the patron. When the item is returned, staff checks it in in Koha, then marks the item withdrawn. Finally, the item is returned in WorldShare, and sent to its home library. Jane Jane Cothron Cataloger Lincoln County Library District P.O.

Hi Sarah In the UK we use the ILL module for all our ILL requests. It has been integrated with the British Library API. Happy to go into details if you feel this is relevant to your situation Kind regards David David Peacock Content & Collections Manager University of Hertfordshire ----------- On Thu, Jan 31, 2019 at 10:03 AM Sarah Fletcher <sfletcher@ncrl.org> wrote:
