As part of Smart fulfillment, OCLC's Express digital delivery program enables digital resource sharing among a select group of libraries using the WorldShare ILL network that have turnaround times for lending digital materials of 18 hours or less. More than 1,000 libraries from around the world are actively participating in Express based on their ability to deliver articles and other digital resources within this timeframe. More than 600 of the Express program libraries are also members of Libraries Very Interesting in Sharing (LVIS), which agree to supply articles to each other for free.

Nuove funzionalità e miglioramenti
Utilize the improved dashboard to more easily track turnaround times
The turnaround time dashboard, located on the Tipasa Home page, provides you with the average amount of time for your library's copy or loan requests—as a lender and as a borrower. It can help you monitor your turnaround statistics and observe the impact of changes you make to your ILL workflows.
Previously, the dashboard displayed a chart for borrowing followed by a chart for lending. Now, two separate tabs are available for lending and borrowing.
By default, average turnaround times for copies are displayed. A line displays at 18 hours to show where your library's turnaround time falls with respect to qualifying for OCLC's Express digital delivery program. To learn more, see Express program.
To see average loan turnaround times for loans or both copies and loans, use the radio buttons located in the top right corner of the chart.
To see turnaround times for borrowing, click the Borrowing tab located at the top of the chart.
For more information, see Turnaround time dashboards.
View the pickup location code in the request details
With the April 2024 release, you gained the ability to centrally define pickup location names and codes in OCLC Service Configuration for improved circulation integration, request transfer, and general coordination and communication within your library. See the Tipasa release notes, April 2024.
When present, the pickup location code now displays in the staff interface within the patron section of the request details.
Note
Staff interface being modernized for improved accessibility, usability, and navigation
In early 2024, the OCLC Resource Sharing Team began a project to modernize the Tipasa staff interface. The modernization does not introduce new functionality but will improve accessibility, usability, and navigation, ensuring clearer organization of information as well as the use of modern components, elements, and behaviors.
Modernized pages will be rolled out and released in a two-phase process. Libraries that participate in the "preview" group will see and use the new pages one release prior to other Tipasa libraries. The release of modernized pages began earlier this year.
| The modernized version of this page... | Available to the preview group... | Available to all Tipasa libraries... |
| Request Details: Purchase tab | January 2024 (mid-release) | February 2024 release |
| Request Details: Staff Notes tab | February 2024 release | June 2024 release |
| Tipasa Home page | February 2024 release | June 2024 release |
| Search results page | April 2024 release | June 2024 release |
| Search results page: Tag display | June 2024 release | August 2024 release |
With each upcoming release, this list will be updated with additional pages.
If your library team is interested in being included in the preview group, please send an email to oclcresourcesharing@oclc.org.
For more information, please see the January 31 session of Product Insights: Resource Sharing (timestamp 13:05).
Enhancements in the June 2024 release
