Ex Libris, a ProQuest company, has announced that libraries at two renowned institutions in the United Kingdom—the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge—have adopted the Ex Libris RapidILL™ interlibrary loan service.
As an interlibrary loan system built around a community of reciprocal users, RapidILL has a request fulfillment rate of 95% and an average delivery time of less than 12 hours. Institutions using RapidILL not only enjoy greater access to other collections but also increase the visibility of their own collections. Improving the efficiency of interlibrary loan services supports the advancement of research and makes teaching more effective, both on campus and remotely.
With this acquisition, the universities have also become members of the global RapidILL community, opening their collections to institutions in the UK and around the world.
