Former Interlibrary Loan (ILLO) Structure

Protocols balanced the number of items borrowed vs. the number loaned for partner libraries

ILLOs were filled in sequence - geographically

Supported by Provincial Library using Resource Sharing System software

New Interlibrary Loan (ILLO) Structure

In-province public library ILLOs are treated as HOLDS

ILLOs are filled in using a geographic order

Van delivery allows loaning of A/V materials that are not covered by the Library Book Rate

Balance the number of items borrowed vs. the number loaned for partner libraries

Large urban libraries have not seen large imbalances in interlibrary loans.
