IDS Orientation

Here are various ways the IDS Project offers professional development to the ILL community:

We hold new member chats twice a year, in August and January. These are for people new to ILL to ask any questions about the IDS Project, ILLiad, or interlibrary loan in general. To let us know you'd like to join our next new member chat, please email to lrath@brockport.edu and we'll get you on the list for the next one!
