BACKGROUND
Interlibrary Loan (ILL) is a service that allows customers to request materials owned by another library system. Prior to August 31, 2012, when the Texas State Legislature eliminated funding for interlibrary loan services, the Dallas Public Library served as a TexNet Center and received funding for the interlibrary loan service. Since then, the Dallas Public Library has continued to provide limited interlibrary loan services with reimbursement from the Texas State Library Commission to cover costs associated with this service.
The Texas State Library Commission is disbursing reimbursement payments to Texas public libraries who made interlibrary loan lends in State Fiscal Year 2019. The Dallas Public Library completed 4,471 lends using the Navigator ILL system in State Fiscal Year 2019, and will receive a total payment of $40,239.00.
