It also integrates seamlessly with WorldShare® Interlibrary Loan, connecting you to the world's largest interlibrary loan network.

OCLC ILLiad software was developed by the interlibrary loan staff at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University and has been expanded and further enhanced by Atlas Systems, Inc., the primary developer for OCLC ILLiad. Atlas Systems continues to be a vital provider to OCLC for support and development of this product.
ILLiad allows you to replace paper-based workflows, manage a high volume of requests and automate routine functions for borrowing and lending resources between libraries with integration into a variety of third-party systems. ILLiad allows your users to place and monitor their requests without librarian assistance and to get materials quickly.
