Library: New interlibrary loans system

Wayne Interlibrary Loan and Document Delivery (WILD), a new electronic transaction system, recently replaced various electronic forms and paper-based record-keeping systems at Shiffman Medical Library as well as several other university libraries. WILD links replace previously automated Interlibrary Loan forms on the Library System's Web site.

Users must fill out a brief registration form the first time that they access the new system. This allows them to securely store their contact information and preferences submit requests without having to fill out paper forms; track the progress of their requests online receive electronic notification of filled requests; and receive direct-to-desktop delivery of materials.

For additional information about WILD, contact Shiffman Medical Library Document Services at (313) 577-1100 or posthaste@wayne.edu.
