Interloan
• 1998-1999 Kinetica Document Delivery
• 2000ca– an idea
resource sharing for New Zealand
and Australian libraries – seen as achievable and
beneficial
• 2003– 8th IFLA ISDS, Canberra, ACT - Mary Jackson’s
keynote on future trends - increased globalisation and
development of global interlending.
• Late 2003 – NLNZ began work with NLA : named

5. The Project revisited, 2005-2006
• Main technical issues
√
• Main business issue : central invoicing and payments service for New
Zealand Libraries developed by National Library
Service requirements:
• Pay New Zealand libraries for items supplied to Austratlian
libraries
• Invoice New Zealand libraries for items supplied from Australia
• Send and receive invoices from NLA for all trancations in
previous 2 months
Constraints:
• Requirement to work within current resources and existing
systems
• Agreement from Inland Revenue to proceed with the “Buyer
creator invoice”
Main players:
• NLNZ ; NLA ; Inland Revenue; JSCI

Future
1998 – 9 the new system project led to Te Puna Interloan, which as most of you know, is the system that continued the role to that of it’s the predecessor NZBN, as facilitator for the sharing of resources among New Zealand libraries
1998 – 9 At the same time the NLA were developing their interlibrary loan / resource sharing system for Australian Libraries .
We were both using FD product VDX and frequently collaborated with our developments
2000 - Cannot find documentation from that time however their was an “understood” agreement that we would eventually develop a link.
2003 –combination = the 8th IFLA Interlending and Document Supply (ISDS) International Conference and in Australia alongwith the inspiration of Mary Jackson keynote provided the impetus to start the project
10 trends – amongst them – eg rising expectations of users – user initiated services, enhancements to online catalogs and standards based systems
2003-2004
A number of technical and business issues to work through in setting up the link.
Technical Issues
NLA and NLNZ both used the same product and which is standards based – the ISO protocol provides a standardised way for accessing any ISO compliant system and permitting ILL messages to be passed back and forth across one system to another.
Location Load:– in setting it up we knew we would have to do what’s called a location load – the NLA would need to load all NZ libraries and NLNZ load all Australian libraries
Setup of Library to library charging.
The setup of Service levels also relatively easy – set up VDX so that each country is converted to the IPIG codes and each views as own
BUT there are Business Issues
Individual agreements between NLNZ and NLA and with NZ libraries not an issue.
NZ Interloan scheme is– just that. It is a New Zealand interloan scheme only. The only mention of overseas libraries in the interloan scheme about overseas libraries was a small statement in the copyright clause which was interpreted differently by different individuals.
Billing in the form of IBS is used for NZ Interloan Scheme and we were keen to use this facility for the A-NZ interloan link. NLA provide a centralised service for its LADD members and NLNZ were also keen to provide this service on hehalf its Te Puna Interloan members. The IBS services provided by Grant Thornton Accountants were seen as a possible solution and NLNZ worked together with them for some time to get this off the ground. However statistical forecasts for amount of interloas indicated it would not scale for them as “new” business worth setting up.
Development of the interloan link was shelved.
Late 2005 decided to have another look at the project – review of projects in the library and at the request of NLA.
Once again Technical issues No problem!
AND Once again the main business issue was how to provide a centralised invoicing and payments service for New Zealand Libraries.
The option of leaving it to New Zealand libraries to sort it this out themselves was not appealing and not economic and would not match the NLA model.
So setting up a centralised invoicing and payments became a project in itself.
National Library needed to consider how this would work within existing framework.:
Constraint in that could not develop a brand new billing system
Requirements to work within current resources and existing systems
Getting agreement from Inland Revenue to proceed with the “Buyer creator invoice” – important for the supply to Australians and would allows NLNZ to create an invoice on NZ libraries behalf.
Development required extensive work during Dec-May within the National Library and with NLA
Needless to say we just completed development when the SURPRISE came from IBS they no longer wished to continue as Billing agent for NZ Interloan scheme
