Scannx Simplifies Interlibrary Loan Fulfillment on OCLC’s Next Generation

Platform

Livermore, CA, February 07, 2018 --(PR.com)-- Scannx®, the leader in document capture and document
delivery software and cloud services for library patrons and staff, and OCLC, a nonprofit global library
cooperative, today announced their collaboration to simplify the interlibrary loan process using Scannx
scanning software with OCLC's next generation ILL platform. Scannx will ship this feature in its version
5.0 software in calendar Q1/2018 and will be demonstrated at the ALA Mid-winter conference on
February 9-12, 2018, in Denver, CO, booth #945.

Tipasa is the world's first cloud-based interlibrary loan management system, and WorldShare ILL
automates cloud-based interlibrary borrowing and lending processes. The Scannx capture software is used
in over 2,300 book scanning systems whose library patrons and staff have scanned over 115 million
pages, reducing paper and toner costs while saving almost 15,000 trees.

"Scannx and OCLC have a long history of working together to deliver the best technology for our shared
customers," said Murray L. Dennis, CEO, Scannx. "Our software connectors to Tipasa and WorldShare
ILL will make Interlibrary loan fulfillment as easy as 1-2-3. These upgrades are included at no additional
charge to our Scannx customers who implemented our Article Exchange and ILLiad solutions."

"OCLC is always interested in bringing innovative new services and features to libraries,” said Mary
Sauer-Games, OCLC Vice President, Global Product Management. “Scannx gives libraries a powerful
way to further streamline resource sharing workflows in Tipasa and WorldShare ILL.

Tipasa enables libraries to manage a high volume of interlibrary loan requests, automate routine
borrowing and lending functions, and provide an enhanced patron experience. It enables them to meet
users' needs without heavy IT support, server management, or extensive configuration and training. It
takes the existing desktop-based functions of the ILLiad system and moves them to the cloud. For more

WorldShare Interlibrary Loan automates cloud-based interlibrary borrowing and lending processes
though the largest resource-sharing network in the world. It saves library staff time and ensures timely
delivery of items to the people who need them. For more information on WorldShare ILL, visit
