I don't know of any existing art, if you decide to write your own ILL, I'd
be interested in working with you to ensure that it would work with Koha.
I'd imagine that the other Free Library System Developers would be
similarly interested.

Let me know what we (Koha) can do to help.

[oss4lib-discuss] electronic ILL acceptance in Europe

[Patrick Peiffer <Patrick.Peiffer@bi...>]

Hi,

We will begin to use low-key electronic ILL in Luxembourg. Virtually all =
our
requests have to be orderd via international ILL, so we will follow the m=
ost
accepted electronic ILL format in Europe.

To find out, I looked for a european library listing telling me if and wh=
at
kind of electronic ILL requests they accept (IFLA email, IFLA fax, ISO IL=
L
email). Even Gabriel doesn't include that information. If someone has suc=
h a
list, I would be most grateful.

Quick closed-source exkurs: We have looked at RLG ILL Manager, it has man=
y
features, but we are
concerned that most of it is just overhead for us, because it is specific=
 to
US & RLG members.
I have not found a european library yet which uses ILL Manager. Know one?

In case ILL Manager is not an option, we will develop our own Open-Source
ILL software, handling IFLA email/fax plus Prospero server for document
delivery.
If others have prior art/experience in that field, pointers are welcome.

have a good day,
