Interlibrary Loan:

SEMLS has three programs that support resource sharing.  The programs are MassCat, Medidated Interlibrary Loan and Net Lender. 

MassCat:

http://www.masscat.org

A cooperative project of five Massachusetts regional library systems, CMRLS, Metrowest, NMRLS, SEMLS and WMRLS, MassCat provides access to the bibliographic holdings of libraries that are not part of the state's automated networks. To learn more about MassCat visit the MassCat website or contact Kathy Lussier or Cindy Roach.

Mediated Interlibrary Loan:

http://thomascranelibrary.org/reference/interloan/ClioWeb/Index.cfm

The Thomas Crane Public Library serves as the regional processing center for Mediated Interlibrary Loan.  Quincy has an ILL webform.  If you have questions about ILL contact Quincy ILL.

The SEMLS ILL Committee has developed an ILL brochure that you can use to promote ILL. 

Net Lender:

SEMLS has instituted a net lender program to facilitate resource sharing among our members. This program compensates those libraries that contribute to regional resource sharing by providing a greater number of materials on interlibrary loan to regional members than they borrow from regional members.
