In a world where budget dollars and staff time are at a premium, traditional ILL systems are simply too expensive. … Rapido, from Ex Libris, part of Clarivate, is among a new generation of resource sharing solutions that streamlines both ILL and DDS by automating processes and freeing librarians from tedious manual steps.
