System for Interlibrary Loan IBL for professional users

Finding books, periodicals and articles in the collections of more than 400 Dutch libraries. Entering and processing photocopy and loan requests in the Dutch ILL system.

General

On behalf of document delivery and interlibrary loan OCLC PICA offers a large database: the Dutch Central Catalogue NCC. The Dutch Central Catalogue NCC contains the bibliographic information and location of approximately 14 million books and more than 500,000 periodicals to be found in more than 400 libraries within The Netherlands. The database is updated directly and continuously.

NCC/IBL-system

The most prominent feature of the NCC/IBL-system is the possibility to use the NCC in a command-driven way i.e. using WinIBW. The NCC/IBL-system contains many facilities for processing ILL-requests, both for requesting libraries and supplying libraries. It is possible to enter requests in the NCC/IBL-system for both books and (photocopies of) articles from periodicals.
Articles and books are sent to the requesting library. On an experimental basis articles are also delivered electronically.
Participating libraries and other document suppliers are not bound to add their own title-material to the NCC-database or to deliver photocopies to third parties or loan publications.
Requests for books that cannot be found in the NCC, can be entered online via a so-called free-request process.

Deposit-account

Cost for the delivery of the requested publications - books on loan, articles in photocopy - are charged by the Royal Library to the library. Payment takes place via a so-called IBL-account, a prepaid account to which the cost of delivery of publications via ILL can be debited.

Interface WinIBW

In order to work with the NCC/IBL-system you need the WinIBW software. WinIBW is a command-driven search interface. WinIBW has been developed especially for library staff and as such offers full ILL-functionality such as entering requests, checking requests, if necessary stopping requests, printing and processing of received loan requests.
