Dear Steelsen and Code4Libbers:

My apologies, but I'm not quite sure I understand the difference between
what you are building and what an interlibrary loan application would
provide (for which there are many products available).  You are probably
aware of those options (we use VDX right now for statewide lending and
requesting); there's at least one open source ILL option called FulfILLment
(http://www.fulfillment-ill.org/) that may help?  Is what you are doing
more seamless than that type of software?  Perhaps someone else has a more
educated response.

In peace,

Amy M. Drayer, MLIS
