Local picture from Northumbria & Newcastle
- Newcastle – 1 request form for staff – separate form for students. ILL within CS, Acquisitions with C&D. Students go via recommend a book first – journal articles/ book chapters can be requested as ILL. Staff have choice over buy or loan
- Digital requests can also be made directly via library search
- All requests feed into Alma borrowing requests
What doesn’t work:
- staff time required to tidy requests before they can be sent (missing ISBN/ title information)
- No option to request physical items direct from library search
- Recommend a book to ILL is a bit clunky and can slow things down for the customer
What does work:
- Online forms can be accessed from anywhere
- Staff have ability to check and tidy requests before being sent to partners
- All requests accepted – less work for the customer

The next FIL event will be held online on Wednesday 12th February 2025. Details of how to book will be sent out nearer the time.
In order to make the program relevant we would like to give you the opportunity to present on topics that matter to you. Topics you might like to consider are:
- Obtaining Copyright cleared requests- how are you meeting this challenge?.
- Trends in ILL Demand: How has ILL changed in your library?
- Different Perspectives on an ILL service: We are really interested in hearing from different library services and how ILL works in different sectors. Whether you work in a public, NHS, academic, museum, prison or other specialist library why not take this opportunity to showcase the work you do.
- The savings challenge- have you made any changes? Is this impacting your service?
- Workflows and new technology– do you have anything to share?
Your presentation can be on any topic. It can be either a
- Lightening talk- these are usually brief overviews which are 10-15 minutes long. Ideal for first time presenters.
- Full presentation- these are typically 30-40 minutes long.
