The magic of interlibrary loan
If you're a frequent public library user, you've probably borrowed books through interlibrary loan (ILL) at some point. Have you ever wondered how the process works? WUWM 89.7 FM's Mayaan Silver takes you behind the scenes of the Milwaukee County Federated Library System in this interesting article.

Update on the the Continuation of the EFTS Service
Monday, October 14, 2019
NNLM Delivery is a Free Article Exchange Service for NNLM Members
- NNLM Delivery is a free document delivery service for members of the NNLM.
- This service enables libraries to send links to ILL articles they lend, rather than emailing large attachments.
- NNLM Delivery can also be used to support local electronic document delivery.
The National Network of Libraries of Medicine, Middle Atlantic Region (NNLM MAR) upgraded MARDelivery, their free document delivery, storage and retrieval service. The new platform, NNLM Delivery, will be extended to ALL NNLM Members. Not just for the Middle Atlantic Region anymore!
From what I understand, it’s similar / equivalent to the
OCLC tool used by some larger libraries to send ILL articles with a link and a password rather
than file attachments. After you upload files, NNLM Delivery saves them for only 3 weeks. The file storage is temporary—which is what
you want for ILL.
Watch this NNLM
Delivery Info Session video for more information:
The session covers the background and purpose of NNLM Delivery and how to use it along, including a demonstration. They also explain how to sign up to use the service by connecting your personal NNLM account (used for CE classes) to your member library account. You may already be signed up!
The presenters, Michelle Burda and Hannah Sinemus, are
careful to note that NNLM Delivery
does NOT replace Docline, or LinkOut, or Loansome Doc. NNLM Delivery is NOT a method for requesting
articles.
Although my normal process of sending ILL articles is to
email attachments, the NNLM Delivery service could be very helpful when sending
large files that might be blocked by the borrowing library’s network, or even
my own.
