Automated interlibrary loan/document delivery database

This presentation will demonstrate the use of MS Access, to create a low-cost interlibrary loan/document delivery database (ILL/DD) for health libraries.

Event Description

This presentation will demonstrate the use of MS Access, to create a low-cost interlibrary loan/document delivery database that automates both the typical article search, request, and Pcommunication process for a health library, and the requesting mechanism for most ILL/DD networks/systems. Using the example of the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists (ANZCA) Library as a case study, this database has enabled the automation of a previously almost entirely manual process. With a volume of over 1640 article requests from a user base of approximately 7500 fellows and trainees, the ANZCA Library has significantly reduced the turnaround time to the requestor, saving staff time and providing quality clinical information in a timely manner.
 
As part of the HLA/MedicalDirector Digital Health Innovation Award John has scaled this database up making it feely accessible for everyone to use. Come along and learn about the database, how you can access it and how your library can benefit.

Presenter

John Prentice, ANZCA

He has a keen interest in library technologies, science-fiction and cycling.
