We are back home!

We’re excited to announce that the IDS Project has officially returned to its home in the newly renovated Milne Library! After years of construction and planning, we’re thrilled to welcome everyone back to this vibrant space.

Explore the updates that showcase the transformation from renderings to reality. Check out our latest blog post for insights into the project’s journey and what you can expect in the new library.

CrossLINK by IDS Project - Update

CrossLink has moved into the testing phase of the ISO18626 broker. We are currently using a MockILL application that IndexData built for sending and receiving standard ISO18626 requests. In the next few weeks, we will be moving on to testing Alma to Alma requests. Soon after, we will be testing ReShare to ReShare, ILLiad to ILLiad, and Rapido to Rapido. The final testing will involve sending requests to all the different systems.
We currently have a draft version of the CrossLink discovery layer up and running. We plan to add several of the IDS Search functions that people love, including options for local to full consortial discovery, availability lookup, and sending requests to your ILL Management System of choice.

We’re happy to announce that registration is open for the IDS Project Virtual Conference!
