We implement intuitive, robust technology for participating members that further enhances their collections by enabling reciprocal lending and borrowing within the state, and globally.
Inter-library loan is a vital service offered by our libraries. It allows them to enhance their collections through the exchange of materials upon request.
We have implemented ILLiad, developed by Atlas Systems, to enable our members' inter-library loan service. This software manages all of their borrowing, lending, and document delivery in a single interface.
Reciprocal borrowing further enhances our libraries' collections by giving their user community borrowing privileges at other member libraries.
Libraries issue a Reciprocal Borrowing Card to authorized users, who can then travel to any participating library within the state to borrow eligible resources.
Participating members have various levels of reciprocity. Check the Agreement for Reciprocal Borrowing for details.
98% - Reciprocal Borrowing
43% - Inter-library Loan
