About the Webinar
Not every library can hold every item. To address this, libraries have developed intricate systems of sharing resources between libraries through interlibrary loan (ILL). Over time, standards were developed to automate many of the processes involved in ILL to reduce the costs and staff load required to handle the requests. Additionally, self-service aspects have been built into systems and standards. Several different standards exist, including the NISO Circulation Interchange Protocol (NCIP, Z39.83), the Standard Interchange Protocol (SIP), originally developed by 3M and now becoming a NISO standard, and the ISO series of Open Systems Interconnection ILL Protocol standards (ISO 10160, 10161-1, and 10161-2), which is in the process of being replaced by a new ISO standard on ILL Transactions (ISO 18626).
This webinar will explore these standards, discuss their differences and potential overlaps, and how interlibrary loan standards are currently in use for both traditional and e-resources, often without the users even being aware of them.

Introduction
Speaker
Has “Rethinking Resource Sharing” Succeeded? – A Survey of Resource Sharing Protocols Ten Years Later
Speaker
Almost ten years ago, the speaker and several others issued a White Paper (now known a Rethinking Resource Sharing) that suggested that Interlibrary Loan needed to change its focus. The white paper called for a deep reexamination of all aspects of resource sharing including: how users were served by library ILL departments, speed, user-driven transactions, consortial needs, and interoperability among systems (communication protocols). Much effort and energy has occurred since in the first four areas, but comparatively little on the last.
This presentation will examine the legacy ISO 10160 protocol, advances and changes in NCIP, the current SIP3 update work, as well as more recent initiatives in resource sharing communication.
Invisible Alphabet Soup: How Libraries Use a Variety of ILL Standards Everyday and Don't Necessarily Know It
Speaker
Invisibility is the hallmark of a good standard, especially for the end-user. Ellingson will be talking in practical terms about standards specific to resource sharing, like NCIP & the ISO ILL Protocol(s). In addition, she'll talk about the interplay of standards—how they build on each other (ideally) to create a library/resource sharing environment in which library users and staff can do what they need to with relative ease. Also covered will be standards like AACR, MARC, RDA, Open URL, XML, etc. as the building blocks for ILL/resource sharing-specific standards.
