Alma and ILLiad: Implementing NCIP at a Large Multicampus Research Institution
Product or Program Track
Alma
Session Description
The NCIP addon streamlines processing of both lending and borrowing Interlibrary Loan requests automatically using existing ILLiad work flows with Alma. Circulation desk staff no longer need to toggle between two systems to manage current loans and view items on hold. Patrons need only view their account in Primo to see all of their loans or outstanding requests. Lending staff no longer need to update requests to shipped in ILLiad and then check the item out in Alma, eliminating the need for pseudopatrons. Everybody wins!
Learn how Northwestern University implemented NCIP with Alma, how we deployed it across our three campuses and what we learned with nearly 10,000 borrowing and 2,500 lending transactions processed since September 1, 2015.
