epixtech has released version 3.1 of its RSS interlibrary loan product. The 35 new features in the release include automatic partner assignment, automatic checking of availability, aging of pending requests, automatic expiration of requests on the lending side, and interoperability with OCLC's Direct Request Service.
The RSS ILL product runs on a separate server from the rest of the epixtech Dynix, NOTIS, and Horizon systems so libraries on a consortium that uses the automated library system of another vendor can use it independently.
