Upgrade to ILLiad versions 7.4 or higher

OCLC and Atlas Systems continue to provide ongoing enhancements to the OCLC ILLiad Resource Sharing Management software to insure that ILLiad meets the changing needs of libraries.  The latest version of ILLiad software is version 8.  Using the latest development platforms and tools, the ILLiad version 8 client can perform faster and more efficiently than previous versions.

ILLiad version 8 is available to all ILLiad users at no additional charge.  However, ILLiad version 7.4 is a prerequisite for use of ILLiad 8.0.  To help libraries and their users use ILLiad efficiently and effectively, OCLC will discontinue support for ILLiad versions older than 7.4.  Libraries using ILLiad versions earlier than version 7.4 must migrate to version 7.4 or higher in the coming months.  Dates for the retirement of versions earlier than version 7.4 are:

• End of support for versions 7.2 and older: August 31, 2010
• End of support for versions 7.3 and older: December 31, 2010

Note: If you use version ILLiad 7.2.x, you will first need to move to version 7.3 and then to version 7.4 as described below.

To learn more about ILLiad 8, watch the video presentation, ILLiad 8 Overview.
