  1. Dynamic Resource Allocation

    The core content of this improvement involves an algorithm that monitors the "live state" of participating libraries. Currently, RapidILL excels at finding the fastest lender based on historical data. However, by integrating a system that functions like a high-speed run through a digital obstacle course, the software could pivot instantly when a preferred lender is overwhelmed. This "sprint" logic would allow the system to bypass bottlenecks by detecting sudden spikes in local processing times. https://run1.onl

    By treating the lending queue as a fluid environment, RapidILL can ensure that no single institution becomes a "dead end." This would reduce the overall…

  3. Routing request to libraries with a subscription to A journal and not to those with an open access platform in their catalog

    Now orders are directed to libraries with access only to an open access platform that many times in practice do not provide articles instead to libraries that have a subscription to the journal.
    The result is that many times after the order has passed through many libraries it is finally rejected. Since there is synchronization between the journal IDs (issns, oclc) you can't write an oclc that appears only for subscribers.

  4. Priority by language (not just by time-zone and load-balance)

    Rapid should prioritize the language of requests, so that requests in languages such as Hebrew and Arabic would be sent to libraries specializing in these languages, before other libraries.

  5. Export monthly borrowing/lending summary reports

    Under Tools > Statistics > Lending Summary/Borrowing Summary, the statistics shown on the screen can drill down to monthly level but when I clicked on Excel, the file does not breakdown to monthly level. We had to resort to copy and paste from the screen into an Excel file and format it. It would save staff time if the export includes the monthly statistics.
