From the BLC Website:

Screenshot 2025-09-09 at 11.31.11 AMIn alignment with BLC’s strategic initiative to enhance resource sharing systems, the ILL Systems Evaluation Working Group has developed a set criteria to aid libraries and consortia in evaluating the functionality of their resource sharing software. We encourage others in the resource sharing community to utilize these criteria to identify local priorities of your resource sharing software and advocate with library administrators and software vendors to collaboratively address the needs of resource sharing practitioners of all library backgrounds.

Some features of the report include:

  • A set of evaluation criteria to assess the essential and desired functionalities of resource sharing software.
  • A background on the development of the evaluation criteria, including a history of the past decade of activity for resource sharing software and how has BLC navigated a tumultuous landscape.
  • An overview of the criteria categorization and prioritization method BLC is utilizing to develop our consortial knowledge base of resource sharing software needs.
