Once Upon A Time
“Interlibrary Loan is going to become more important.”
--Eileen Hitchingham, April 1996
![Page 3: Interlibrary Loan -- a Vital Strategic Service](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814fb9550346895dbd7131/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Why Go To The Library?
To Get BooksPreferably cataloged and
classified books
![Page 4: Interlibrary Loan -- a Vital Strategic Service](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814fb9550346895dbd7131/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
But,if the library doesn’t have the books you want, what’s theNext Most Important Thing?
Interlibrary LoanOf Course
![Page 5: Interlibrary Loan -- a Vital Strategic Service](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814fb9550346895dbd7131/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Paper Everywhere
![Page 6: Interlibrary Loan -- a Vital Strategic Service](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814fb9550346895dbd7131/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
We All Like Databases
Traditionally, databases were created to handle the INTERNAL problem of paper
![Page 7: Interlibrary Loan -- a Vital Strategic Service](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814fb9550346895dbd7131/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The Way It Was
• Used technology to work faster, cheaper, more reliably
• Automated existing procedures
• Supported clerical and administrative work
Focus was INTERNAL
![Page 8: Interlibrary Loan -- a Vital Strategic Service](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814fb9550346895dbd7131/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Traditional Software
Library staff uses software that
helps them perform a process.
Software and automation are a
COSTof doing business.
![Page 9: Interlibrary Loan -- a Vital Strategic Service](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814fb9550346895dbd7131/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Customer Goals First
• Having technology is NOT a goal
• Library’s goal is to satisfy the customer through useful and effective services
• Library services acquire value only by achieving customer purposes
![Page 10: Interlibrary Loan -- a Vital Strategic Service](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814fb9550346895dbd7131/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Today’s Approach
• Understand our business and contribute to customer success
• Emphasize the individual customer, not the institution
• Be effective, not just efficient
• Empower customers to achievetheir goals
![Page 11: Interlibrary Loan -- a Vital Strategic Service](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814fb9550346895dbd7131/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Look at the Process
Our goal is to create a process that serves the EXTERNAL purpose of achieving the customer’s goals
![Page 12: Interlibrary Loan -- a Vital Strategic Service](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814fb9550346895dbd7131/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Process Automation
• We automated the ILL process,not the storage of ILL data
• We designed the process and workflow, data storage followed
![Page 13: Interlibrary Loan -- a Vital Strategic Service](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814fb9550346895dbd7131/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

What Did They Say?
Students
The library service is the best VT administrative service by leaps and bounds that I've encountered so far. You folks are extremely efficient and easy to deal with. You also make appropriate use of computer technology, not just employing it because you could but because it can serve a useful purpose. --SG, Washington, D. C.

Summary
• ILL is the 2nd most important library activityand I should add, the most complex
• ILL is the quintessence of library cooperation
• ILL is where the action is
• ILL is a distinguishing service
• ILL is a strategic service
• We may still be learning just how great the demand is for quality ILL service
![Page 25: Interlibrary Loan -- a Vital Strategic Service](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814fb9550346895dbd7131/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
ILL is a Library Strategic Service
• ILL process improves the library’s bottom line– Service to the customers
Focus is EXTERNAL
• External results contribute directly to the purposes of library customers– ILL process makes it possible for customers to achieve
their goals through the library
