Does ILDS serve Illinois’ public, school and special libraries?
Indirectly. Materials being routed between two different regional library systems to fill interlibrary resource sharing requests travel between the two regional systems on ILDS and then are transferred into the system’s delivery service to reach their final destination. There are also a small number of CARLI libraries that are not affiliated with colleges or universities including the Illinois Math and Science Academy, the Newberry Library, the Illinois State Library, Pritzker Military Libarary, and the Field Museum of Natural History all of which are ILDS delivery locations.
