ILLiad Setup Guide and Functionality
- John Seguin
The ILLiad integration is developed by ATLAS Systems using the LibKey API and is available to any library who has LibKey API Access. To request an API Key for use in ILLiad, just contact our support desk.
The integration concept is to use LibKey’s fast and precise lookup potential to automate what would otherwise be human effort to evaluate a DOI-bearing article being requested via ILL and to see if holdings are available and if so, to provide a link back to the user indicating that this item is held by the library (or is available as an OpenAccess version of record).
This concept should help minimize ILL staff churn allowing them to focus on more important tasks and providing users with an extremely fast turn around of assistance.
To get started with this integration please see the documentation available over on the ATLAS website.
