There are NISO standards also for interchange - NCIP - SIP...  Texas has just
adopted a new ILL system based on OCLC which can allow independant USER ILL
initiated requests, but it requires NCIP to do so.

openncip.org - was a project that started at one time.

I know for libraries in Texas to be completely self reliant and not require
"batch uploads to OCLC if they are not members" they must have NCIP. 
Evergreen also is lacking this functionality - a great opportunity for two
FOSS Systems to work together...
