  12. Former Interlibrary Loan (ILLO) Structure • Followed ISO 10160/10161 standards for ILLOs between systems • Protocols balanced the number of items borrowed vs. the number loaned for partner libraries • ILLOs were filled in sequence - geographically • Supported by Provincial Library using Resource Sharing System software

  13. New Interlibrary Loan (ILLO) Structure • In-province public library ILLOs are treated as HOLDS • ILLOs are filled in using a geographic order • Van delivery allows loaning of A/V materials that are not covered by the Library Book Rate • Balance the number of items borrowed vs. the number loaned for partner libraries • Large urban libraries have notseen large imbalances in interlibrary loans.
