OCLC Interlibrary Loan migration update During the next year, OCLC will launch a new resource sharing system based on the FirstSearch interface. The new interface will, by July 2005, replace the OCLC Interlibrary Loan (ILL) Web interface, the OCLC ILL Micro Enhancer and Passport for ILL. Most of the borrowing and lending functionality available through ILL Web was added to the FirstSearch system in June 2004. Remaining borrowing and lending functionality will be added in August 2004, with the addition of custom holdings functionality.
