Recommendation

(In progress.) The committee has decided determined after consultation with Ex Libris that Option 3 is not valid and is continuing to pursue the remaining options.

...

2 is the only option supported technically for integration with Ex Libris. So we recommend that CDL implement a GES integration between Alma and Request.

This integration should be implemented if possible using a Primo VE display logic rule that causes this GES to appear only if the requested item is not held in the consortium.

Reasoning

As Option 2 (a GES) is the only supported option, we will move forward with that. (Note that during the Vanguard additional options were discovered. The decision for subsequent phases is (Test and Go-Live) Strategy for Resource Sharing with WorldShare ILL ).

Background

Currently the Request/VDX system is used for both consortial resource sharing and ILL, with ILL being implemented through OCLC WSILL for all requests that cannot be filled within UC (or for CRL members, by UC or CRL).
