Abstract
Purpose ‐ The purpose of this paper is to describe the introduction of ILLiad at the University of Edinburgh and its wider impact. Design/methodology/approach ‐ The paper provides a hands-on description by a practitioner of an interlibrary loans (ILL) system new to the UK. Findings ‐ The paper finds that the introduction of ILLiad has not halted the decline in ILL but has opened the library up to international resource sharing to a significant extent. Originality/value ‐ This is the first description published of the introduction of ILLiad into the UK.
