A new approach towards a national inter-library loan system in The Netherlands: introducing VDX (public libraries)

9th IFLA ILDS International Conference 22 September 2005

Page 2: 9th IFLA ILDS International Conference  22 September 2005

Why?

• Request media via internet: – Many ways– All different– Not transparant

• Limited use

Page 3: 9th IFLA ILDS International Conference  22 September 2005

Why?

• The options of the current request service:

– Reserve at own library– Reserve/request with libraries in the area– Reserve/request within the province (some provinces)– Request at WSF-libraries (via staff or account)– Request music (need account)– Request at university or royal library– Library services without request option

• Virtual school-library• Catalogue on bibliotheek.nl• Etc

=> One really needs to know the way

The new approach

• All media of all Dutch libraries for all patrons

• Request as a patron via the Internet• Collect at your own library• With your own library card

Page 7: 9th IFLA ILDS International Conference  22 September 2005

The new approach

• Use existing procedures and systems– Local library system– Van delivery schema’s– Local library to define request costs for

patron– Clearing house to pass on costs between

libraries

Page 8: 9th IFLA ILDS International Conference  22 September 2005

A new approach towards ILL

• National initiative started in 2003:

“Landelijk Lenen Lokaal Leveren” (National Lending Local Delivery)

• Radical change in public library access policies• New ways of sharing public library resources and

working together across the Netherlands• Providing a digital library service, available on-line• Using VDX software (FDI) to link together all the

existing public library management systems.

Scope of the project

• Existing National, provincial, regional and local infrastructure:– Technical

• + 100 library systems (independent libraries and provincial networks)

• Requires a technical solution to achieve effective communication between the different library systems

• Administrative (hurdles)• Organisational (hurdles)• Create national vision on resource sharing

Page 16: 9th IFLA ILDS International Conference  22 September 2005

Approach

• Step by step – Allowing the layered network of public libraries

to be highly involved in the process– Integrated approach of processes, organisation

and ICT

• Related development: – Provincial catalogues– A-select

Page 17: 9th IFLA ILDS International Conference  22 September 2005

Benefits of the new approach

• For the public:– Large offer of titles with the introduction

of provincial catalogues and a request option appearing on sites with library-services

– Same request functionality available on various sites (recognisable)

– User friendly and easy service– No accounts or staff assistance needed

to place a request

Page 18: 9th IFLA ILDS International Conference  22 September 2005

Benefits of the new approach

• For libraries:– Own physical collection enlarged with the

virtual collection of the library network – New service for the patrons– Automated request service by links between

the VDX-system, the library management systems and systems of external suppliers

• Avoiding extra and double work for staff• Automatic handing over of requests to system of

external supplier (CDR, NCC)

Page 19: 9th IFLA ILDS International Conference  22 September 2005

Some wishes for the future

• Support of more materials• Advanced request form for patrons• Advanced request handling for staff• Manage e-content

– Using VDX, pilot takes place later this year
