Changes to MVLS Interlibrary Loan!
If you weren't already aware, there's been some changes to the CDLC and Mohawk Valley Library System (MVLS) ILL workflow that might impact how you do business! Previously, libraries may have received or requested items via the CDLC ILL e-form or OCLC directly from MVLS.
Now, you will need to use the CDLC ILL eForm to request material directly from the MVLS member libraries, not the system. Similarly, you can expect to get requests directly from the individual MVLS libraries using the CDLC ILL eForm.
Thank you for your support of resource sharing in our region! For further information or if you have questions please contact Kathleen Gundrum at [email protected]. |
