Tipasa
Tailor resource sharing processes and integrate with other library technology to provide excellent customer service and anywhere access to patron-requested materials.
Tipasa, the world’s first cloud-based interlibrary loan management system, allows you to manage a high volume of interlibrary loan requests, automate routine borrowing and lending functions, and provide an enhanced patron experience. You can meet users’ needs without heavy IT support, server management or extensive configuration and training.
Phased approach for roll-out to ILLiad users
OCLC is committed to working closely with the resource sharing community throughout the development of Tipasa, which will take place over multiple years. Development is taking place in three phases with each phase designed for a specific library type and their specific needs. The first phase of Tipasa migrations is well underway with libraries who have very straightforward resource sharing needs and workflows. The second phase of migrations just started and focuses on libraries that are RapidILL users. The third phase of development has begun. Research libraries will be included in this phase as well as libraries who use DOCLINE and other add-on services.

Relais D2D
Optimize discoverability and turnaround time by automating consortial borrowing processes.
Relais D2D (Discovery to Delivery) is a market-leading consortial borrowing solution that provides key features guaranteeing the best experience for library users, such as requestability logic that dramatically improves ILL fill rates and integration with other library systems. We are excited to welcome Relais into OCLC to strengthen our consortial borrowing solution as well as to bring together the best talent, best technology and best communities in resource sharing.
Future of consortial borrowing
D2D will become our consortial borrowing solution, and current D2D customers will continue to use the service as they do today. OCLC VDX groups and WorldCat Navigator customers will move to D2D over time. OCLC will be meeting with members of the Relais, VDX and Navigator user communities to ensure an ongoing dialogue and to inform them of future development.
