Create and manage a rapido/Alma resource sharing directory
Issue:
Currently, partner contact information in Rapido is drawn from general library data. This approach often lacks the specific details needed for efficient interlibrary loan (ILL) communication and workflow coordination.
Proposed Solution:
Ex Libris should develop a dedicated partner directory—similar in functionality to OCLC’s Policy Directory—that includes each institution’s interlibrary loan contact details. This directory would provide key information such as ILL email addresses, phone numbers, primary contact names, and lost item policies. Having a centralized, standardized directory within Rapido would enhance accuracy, streamline communication, and improve the overall efficiency of interlibrary loan operations.
