Library Link Victoria

I've placed a link to Library Link Victoria (LLV) in the Library Focus links on the front page of the Library's website and in the Favorites menu at Fra Info.

Library Link Victoria is an online federated search portal for Victorian libraries, including public and university library catalogues. It's not a snap shot like Libraries Australia, but a live catalogue search system.

Not all Victorian public libraries are currently live on the LLV. The Frankston Library Service will probably go live in July.

Once we are up and running with it, our members will be able to place reserves and ILLs directly through LLV. The same goes for the members of any other participating library.

Now is probably a good time to get ahead of our customers and have a play with it. We should also think about how we are going to use it, especially with regards to searching and ILL policy.
