I'm not sure how you are going to use LDAP to assist in managing ILL
requests but if you implement LDAP it will also affect all personalised
functions which require patron authentication (e.g. holds, renewals,
reading history, WAM).
We decided to purchase LDAP (for the second time!) after we realised
that our IT Services have no plan to introduce campus-wide Single
Sign-On in the foreseeable future. It's been very simple to implement,
although we are not offering it to our users yet!
We are planning to roll out LDAP and Shibboleth at the same time
probably after the exams, but without mentioning the actual word "LDAP"
or "Shibboleth".
