Can my ILS integrate with WorldShare ILL or Tipasa?
Applies to
- WorldShare Interlibrary Loan
- Tipasa
Answer
OCLC offers two primary ways for WorldShare ILL and Tipasa to integrate with ILS services. These are primarily via a circulation integration and the ILL request transfer service:
ILL Request Transfer Service
The ILL request transfer service allows your library to transfer ILL requests from your Integrated Library System (ILS) to your Tipasa or WorldShare ILL service. Once the transfer is complete, manage the transferred requests in your OCLC ILL service. This service is only for WorldShare ILL and Tipasa products. ILLiad is not supported at this time.
More information about this service and how to sign up can be found here: ILL Request Transfer Service
Circulation Integration
Both WorldShare ILL and Tipasa support integration with WMS Circulation. Tipasa can also integrate with WMS Acquisitions. More information about these integrations can be found here:
Tipasa may also be integrated with other ILS' circulation systems, such as Alma, SirsiDynix, and Sierra. More information about these integrations can be found here:
