Abstract

This presentation traces the evolution of RapidILL in the UK and Ireland from the early pandemic response to a mature, community-driven resource-sharing network. It highlights key milestones, institutional case studies, practitioner insights, and the impact of collaboration across UKI libraries. The session demonstrates how RapidILL has strengthened turnaround times, reduced costs, and built a resilient, supportive interlending community, while outlining future developments in analytics and workflow design.
