SILS Library Card and Key Fob

Four Service Principles - SILS 1. One bibliographic database/one catalogue 2. One patron database 3. One library card – across the province 4. Common user experience – common policies

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

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 not seen large imbalances in interlibrary loans.
