X Why use CILL for VERSO? VERSO ILS with CILL (Circulation ILL) integration streamlines resource sharing for libraries already participating in a SHAREit system. VERSO CILL allows libraries to manage their ILL requests within their ILS providing a seamless, optimized workflow for staff and a better patron experience. This unique integration mirrors NCIP, with the benefit of both systems produced and supported by Auto-Graphics in the VERSO CILL environment. Benefits of using VERSO with CILL include: Provides significant cost-savings – For libraries that allow patron initiated ILL borrowing, it eliminates the need to purchase NCIP, or a SIP2 license for patron authentication. Eliminates the need for users to log in to two different systems – The unique synchronization between ILS and ILL platforms substantially reduces – by approximately 80% – the number of required steps performed by staff. The VERSO collection and SHAREit resources are searchable in one interface – Staff and patrons benefit from a unified experience with the ability to place ILL requests and reserve titles from the full record display in VERSO. One patron database to maintain – VERSO CILL integration eliminates duplicate data entry by utilizing your library’s patron database for borrowing ILL items. Simplified circulation workflows for staff – ILL items are managed just as they would be in your library’s collection. All ILL items associated with a patron’s account are populated in an ILL Items” tab and staff can view all information about the request, including its status. Provides convenient access to reports and statistics – With CILL integration, libraries can access their ILL statistics in addition to the valuable insights into circulation and patron trends from the VERSO Statistics module. Saves valuable staff time – When a borrower request is received, a hold is automatically generated for the title, a brief bibliographic and item record are automatically created in VERSO. This automated workflow eliminates the need for staff to manually create and delete records. When an ILL request is received, the request can be configured to populate in the VERSO reserves list eliminating the need to print two separate paging lists.
