We are planning to go live with BLDSS on 1st March and would be very keen to join a lobbying group about this. We had been about to raise a call with Innovative to get them to change the ILL request form order but there doesn't seem to be much point based on the experience in Leeds.
Thanks
Jane

Hi James,
We use the Millennium ILL module and would be keen to join a lobbying group about this issue.

Subject: ARTEmail, BLDSS and Millennium ILL
This post is a heads-up to those sites using the Millennium ILL module to request document supplies through the British Library's ARTEmail system.
At Leeds, we've been trialling the British Library's BLDSS system for document matching. The new feature of this system is its reliance on machine matching to process ARTEmail requests; the conventional ARTEmail system involves a human in the loop somewhere.
For Leeds, the trial has highlighted the importance of the ARTEmail message request structure. If the Millennium ILL module is constructing requests out-with the ARTEmail spec (as ours is) then you can expect to receive a high volume of rejections and mismatches.
For example, a typical ARTEmail request from our ILL module is:
TXUL13833 S SED99
Elise Tipton
Cruising Ginza
Literature and Aesthetics
2007
17
1
125-140
1036-9368
The BLDSS system prefers:
TXUL13833 S SED99
Literature and Aesthetics
2007 vol 17 pt 1 pp 125-140
Cruising Ginza
Elise Tipton
1036-9368
(A guide to the correct format is available in the following document in section 9:
http://www.bl.uk/reshelp/atyourdesk/docsupply/help/bldss/replycodes/BLDS
SguidetoARTEmail.pdf)
The British Library intends to move all customers over to the BLDSS system by the end of April. If your ILL module is not constructing ARTEmail requests exactly to the spec then you will likely experience rejections and mismatches. Leeds submitted a support call to III
(c1334689 (LEEDS)) but were told that the ILL module cannot be reconfigured. Their support technician proposed we enter our request into III's annual 'request for enhancement' round. Given this is often dominated by US sites and this issue is likely to effect only UK sites, the EIUG community might have to engage in a collective lobby to get this fixed. My own experience tells me it will need more than just our site. Comments / expressions of interest welcomed!
