What Librarians & Students Are Saying
Trusted by lecturers and students across Sri Lankan universities
"We were printing the same paper form and retyping it for each request type. This tool saves our ILL team at least two hours a week — each request type has exactly the right fields and the PDF output goes straight to our lending partners."
"As a PhD student I submit ILL requests almost every week. The thesis request form is exactly what I needed — institution, degree type, year — all in one form. The plain text copy option means I can paste it straight into our ILL portal."
"The delivery preference field and notes section are really helpful — lending libraries always ask for those details and they're easy to miss on generic forms. The CSV export integrates nicely with our tracking spreadsheet."
"I recommend this to every student who comes to the reference desk asking about ILL. The step-by-step format means they come back with all the right bibliographic information filled in — no more chasing missing ISBNs or volume numbers."
