Need ILL Training?

There is a required self-paced tutorial on searching for requests, placing requests, and filling requests for any staff member who will be conducting ILL business.

This tutorial will cover all things interlibrary loan, including how SHAREit is used within that cooperative, how to search for items, how to place requests for your patrons, and how to fill requests for other libraries.
