Illume OpenILL & Desktop Delivery (Online): October 23rd (3-4 pm PT)

Thursday, October 23, 2025 - 3:00pm to 4:00pm

The Illume Administrative Support Centre is offering an information & demonstration session for post-secondary libraries interested in learning about OpenILL integration between EBSCO databases and SHAREit. As well as how to directly deliver documents (eg. Article copies) via SHAREit Desktop Delivery to other Illume libraries (including now ISO libraries). 

By the end of the session, participants will:

  • Have an understanding of the OpenILL request workflow and field structure as well as tips on set-up of the EBSCO template or website forms for patron requesting.

  • A review of information on customizing Non-returnable (Copy) workflow through custom Copy Preferred Lender Lists to optimize the ERTI Smart-build.

  • Have an understanding of the two ways, through ILL Review or Multi-Copy builds, to quickly and easily add an ERTI Smart-build to the blank requests used with mediated OpenILL patron requesting.

  • See a demonstration from start-to-finish of this streamlined workflow, where a patron requests an article from an EBSCO database (eg. Academic Search Premier) and the Lender ILL Staff directly delivers the article via SHAREit.

  • Time for questions!
