Can we lend it? Yes we can! A custom solution for delivering ILL license terms through the SFX menu

Abstract

Benjamin Heet, Senior Technical Consultant, University of Notre Dame; Andy Langhurst, Licensing/Serials Order Librarian, University of Notre Dame.

The Hesburgh Libraries have made several attempts over the years to deliver license terms for electronic journals to the interlibrary loan department. We'll talk about our past failed attempts and discuss our latest, hopefully successful, solution for delivering terms through the SFX menu. We've tried to create an easy to find, user friendly solution inspired by the Verde Info button and built with some help from the SFX API. We hope this is an example of how you can give interlibrary loan folks what they need with a minimal amount of programming effort.
