– Relais ILL support, HelpDesk, implementation– Relais D2D / CAVAL D2D
Relais D2D• Functionality
– Unmediated discovery, request & delivery, load balanced, no ‘dead ends’ for users
• System neutral application• Uses NCIP protocol• In operation through several resource sharing
networks in North America
Pilot Implementation
• Aims• Proof of concept• Timelines• Initial participants – RMIT, ACU, CAVAL
CARM Shared Collection
Project Challenges & Issues
• ALMA – Relais integration• Additional participant (UNSW)• Relais ILL & D2D back-end integration• Development by Ex Libris & Relais
International• Loans policies & management
A book band is emailed to the supplying library as a pdf – to be printed and attached to the item.
This incorporates address labels that can be used for posting the material.
An NCIP transaction is initiated to the LMS – which records the item as checked out. Due date stamped on the book strap before posting. Audit history updated to shipped.
Requesting library loan the item to their patron – NCIP can be used to initiate a transaction to the LMS
Book is returned by the patron, returned in CAVALBorrow (the system anticipates the next action required and sends NCIP message as required) and sent back.
Project Outcomes
• CAVALborrow network established• Delivers un-mediated seamless access to
users across disparate library systems• Back-end integration of Relais ILL & D2D • First live transactions December 2014 • Full operational mode 2015
CAVAL Developmental Stages
• Opportunity to join established network• Need for critical mass of resources• Integration with CAVAL Reciprocal Borrowing
Program (for CAVAL members)• Linking of CAVALborrow and BONUS+
networks - potential and challenges• National unmediated resource sharing?
