Here are the advantages of the ILL request transfer service:
- It enables you to manage all ILL requests more easily through your ILL service.
- It eliminates the need to rekey ILL requests and saves you time.
Plus, it’s available at no extra cost with your existing OCLC ILL subscription.

Here’s how to get your library set up with ILL request transfer:

- Once your request is processed, OCLC will email you information about how to retrieve your institution key for this service.

How it works. OCLC’s ILL request transfer service allows you to move the ILL requests your patrons submit through your library's management system into WorldShare ILL by leveraging the latest standards. For an even better experience, we recommend that you use the automated request manager so these requests can be automatically processed and sent to the best potential lenders.
- Without automated request manager, your ILL requests will be sent to review in your WorldShare ILL service.
- With automated request manager, your ILL requests can be matched with appropriate profiles for automated ILL processing.
If you have any questions about ILL request transfer or how to complete the form, please contact OCLC Support.
