Priorities for 2007 interoperability system testing alerts addition of new suppliers directory integration project Trans-Tasman interlending

Priorities for 2007 Interoperability system testing: – most recently, testing of ISO interoperability was undertaken with the University of New South Wales and the University of Tasmania. – the enhanced requesting facility is now available to VDX libraries interoperating with LADD using the ISO ILL protocol. – six libraries joined LADD in the last few months, bringing the total close to 800.

Priorities for alerts: – a trial of the LADD alert functionality began on the 1st February with 40 participating libraries. The functionality is especially useful for infrequent users of the service as it provides an alert when there is a change in the status of an ILL request. – we will undertake a survey to examine usage

Priorities for 2007 Addition of new suppliers: – continue to identify – trial with the Infotrieve database as a source of ILL requests, expected to commence in May and continue for 12 months – will only be available to those libraries which are already registered to use it – both parties will review at end

Priorities for 2007 Directory integration project: – will commence in the latter half of this year – Australian Libraries Gateway information will become part of the Libraries Australia Administration Module – some ILRS information will also be migrated – exploring synergies with the WorldCat registry project:

Priorities for 2007 Trans Tasman Interlending: – has grown in the last six months – For the period 1 November 2006 to 31 March 2007: 1,928 items were supplied to New Zealand libraries 1,027 items were supplied to Australian libraries

Some more statistics Growth in end-user access via library subscriptions: Total (to date) 49
