Beyond interlibrary loan
A smarter alternative to ILL
Interlibrary loan still has its place. But for the everyday article request, borrowing can be cumbersome for the patron, unpredictable for your staff, and invisible to the publisher. Article Galaxy Scholar handles those requests in a licensed, tracked channel instead.
Interlibrary loan
- Days of waiting while a request moves between institutions
- A manual queue that sits outside your discovery layer
- Staff time per request that is hard to predict or budget
- Articles that circulate without publisher compensation or usage data
Article Galaxy Scholar
- Most requests fulfilled in seconds, directly to the patron
- Requests placed from Alma and Primo, EBSCO, LibKey, or WorldCat Discovery
- Predictable article-level cost with no borrowing overhead
- Fully licensed delivery, with usage flowing into your dashboard by title
Article Galaxy Scholar checks your holdings, open access, and ILL availability first, so pay-per-view is only used when nothing else fits.
