As you know, there are many changes coming to ILL in the next few years. I want to reassure you that all ILL transactions done by you will still be handled by the Interlibrary Loan Center in San Antonio for the next two years. You will still enter requests and receive your materials as you do now.
If you are interested in some background information on the ILL study, go to http://www.texshare.edu/ill-courier/illstudytaskforce/ILLStudyFactSheet.2008-04-09.doc. This is a Quick Facts report that is a short two-page overview of the change process.
The main page is located here http://www.texshare.edu/newsletter/resourcesharingprojects/. And if you would like to keep track of all the e-mail on this project, you can do that here http://lists.tsl.state.tx.us/mailman/listinfo/ill_lists.
The state library has created an ILL Task Force that is charged with:
Review and analyze the study recommendations.
Review pilot projects outlined in the study and recommend implementation of one or more pilot projects in Texas.
Review results of pilots, comments from ILL community, and other data collected
Recommend a final program.
The task force would like to hear from each of you on what is important to your library in order to determine the best pilot project for the state. Please visit the main page at http://www.texshare.edu/newsletter/resourcesharingprojects/ to see the list of functional requirements and to leave comments for the task force. The feedback that the task force receives will help them create a RFP (request for proposal) for the new ILL system. This is your chance to let the task force and the state library know what you need for ILL. So far, there have only been a handful of responses. They need your input!
