Greetings from Baltimore! I realize many of us are conferencing at ACRL this week, so I want to highlight an important announcement from the team at Open Access Button. As they write, they’ve spent the last year focused on integrating the OA Button “with library catalogs and interlibrary loan systems  — to surface accessible copies of articles directly through library discovery systems and fulfill interlibrary loan requests instantly when accessible copies are available in repositories.” I encourage you to read the full announcement and share it with your colleagues: https://blog.openaccessbutton.org/putting-the-oa-into-interlibrary-loan-9d5fa5eb25d4#.feggo1bij

Thanks!

Interesting tool. Is the open access button compatible with ILLIAD, our interlibrary loan system? If it is, do we need to do something to activate it?
