ILLiad, Virginia Tech's ILL borrowing system, captures user's input from a
Web form to a SQL Server database. We have eliminated all paper
record-keeping from the borrowing process and we do not key any data into
OCLC ILL workforms. All data on the workform, with the exception of the
OCLC symbols for possible lenders, are transferred programmatically from
the SQL Server database to the OCLC workform. The database includes the
customer's request as well as personal information about the customer.
