Welcome to the news page for the Australian Interlibrary Resource Sharing Directory online. This page will be used as a vehicle to keep interested parties up to date with developments in the ILRS Directory pages and database, and to provide advice on amending possibly troublesome areas in your ILRS entries.

ILRS implementation

After a small initial hiccup, the new, online InterLibrary Resource Sharing Directory was successfully launched, as promised, on Wednesday 14 March, 2001

Even before the advertised date of implementation the ILRS Directory team received a number of emails and telephone calls from folk who were so keen to check their entries that they couldn't wait for the day. Please follow their example and take a good look at your entry, especially as regards service levels and charges, as these will need updating in line with the new Australian Interlibrary Resource Sharing (ILRS) code

Is your address correct?

Many of the letters sent out to advise people of their ILRS Directory password were returned as undeliverable. The addresses were gleaned from the old ILRS directory and in most cases were the same as the address given in ALG, so please check your address in both ALG and ILRS and update it if it is not currently correct.

In order to maintain the accuracy of the Directory, NBD staff are in the process of removing all entries for institutions with no locatable address.

To change your address in ILRS go to Edit this record at the bottom of your entry. Type your password in the box provided and choose General information from the drop down list and then select Login. Correct your address information and choose Submit these updated details at the bottom of the change form.

Follow the same sequence to change your address in ALG.

Passwords

If you wish to avoid having to remember a plethora of passwords, it is fine to make your ILRS password the same as your ALG password.

To change your password in ILRS go to Edit this record at the bottom of your entry. Type your current password in the box provided and choose Change password from the drop down list. Enter your new password in the first window, then enter the same word again in the second window, then select Change password and wait for the confirmation message. Your password is now changed.
