ILL Resumes Today

The NHAIS Interlibrary Loan System is ready for use again! 

Beginning this morning there are 214 libraries ready to fill ILL requests which may now be placed by those same libraries. The libraries who confirmed that they wanted to restart patron-initiated ILL requests are set up to do so.

Normal van delivery service will resume on Monday, September 21.

A few things to remember:

• You don't have to fill every request you get. Marking a request "will not supply" right away will move the request on to the next lender and get the borrower their book much faster than if  you let a request you don't have time to deal with at the moment sit in your queue.
  
  
•  If something happens and you need to stop getting ILL requests at your library for a while you can notify the NHAIS Help Desk (271-2141)  and we will put your library "on vacation" until whatever date you specify.
  
  
• The Quarantine of ILL materials is going to change some things about how ILL transactions move through the system, we have extended due dates and will adjust the timeline again if necessary.
  
  
• There are training videos on all the aspects of using the NHAIS ILL System so if you need a refresher on something visit https://www.nhsl.dncr.nh.gov/librarians/nhais-help-desk/nhais-training
• If your library did not confirm participation by the 9/9 deadline and you were set up in the NHAIS ILL System before the shutdown, you can reactivate your account beginning on Wednesday, 9/16/2020 by contacting the NHAIS Help Desk. If you were not yet set up in the system when we had to shut down we will be setting up new libraries (and those that were in progress back in March) as soon as we can. Watch the blog for announcements.
