OCLC brings first ILLiad Conference to the world


Dublin, OH

On the 8th Anniversary of the ILLiad Inter-Library Loan system, OCLC hosted the first International Illiad Meeting. The summit was International because OCLC contracted PowerStream to webcast the entire event live. Library administrators from around the world logged in via the Internet to virtually attend the various presentations on ILLiad best practices.

ILLiad and Odyssey software allows librarians to seamlessly share patrons and resources, digitally managing many technologies that have been classically paper-based. Those attending the OCLC ILLiad Meeting—in person or virtually—benefit by learning how other librarians have taken advantage of the technology as it grows in strength and global use.
