Priorities for 2007

• email alerts
• addition of new suppliers
• directory integration project
• Trans-Tasman interlending

13
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.

14
Priorities for 2007

• Email alerts
• a trial of the LADD email 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 email alert when there is a change in
  the status of an ILL request.
• we will undertake a survey to examine usage

15
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

16
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 http//www.worldcat.org/registry/Institut
