SDSU Library has integrated SFX link resolver automatically into their interlibrary loan request form. With whatever a bibliographic record at hand, SFX will first look to see if the full text is available electronically. If not, SFX will then try to see if the item is in the local catalog. If that search also fails, ILLiad document delivery service will appear in SFX menu, which will auto-populate the order form with citation information. The entire process happens in just a few seconds.
Here is how to set up ILLiad document delivery service.
Parser: ILLiad::DDL
Parse Param: url=http://illiad.sdstate.edu/illiad/illiad.dll/OpenURL
David Walker from Cal State University, San Marcos developed a nicer parser, which could get more reliable citations in ILLiad from SFX and pass more metadata from a source into ILLiad via SFX, for example, the OCLC number from WorldCat can be passed into ILLiad.
The improved parser is: ILLiad::DDLCSU
Please see the file DDLCSU.pm.

We noticed that info was not getting transferred to our ILLiad request forms from the SFX menu. Changing to the DLLCSU.pm file greatly improves the performance. Thanks much for this tip!
