This presentation was given by Thomas Bruno, Lapis David Cohen, Brian Miller and Dennis Massie., University of Pennsylvania, The Ohio State University, OCLC

The International ILL Toolkit (https://bit.ly/3DvOJiK) is a free, crowd-sourced effort started by the OCLC SHARES consortium and designed to make international resource sharing easier. Discover the origin of the Toolkit and how it has grown with active collaboration from libraries around the world. The Toolkit includes: a growing list of international lenders with contact,  delivery, and payment information; tips and tricks for international ILL by country/region; and translated ILL request templates for contacting international lenders by email. Finally, this session will look at future plans for  the International ILL Toolkit and encourage feedback on how to improve this  valuable, evolving resource.
