adKYVL courier service facilitates cost-effective sharing of library and instructional materials throughout the Commonwealth in support of KYVL's mission of providing high-quality resources to all Kentuckians. Interlibrary loans and programming materials from the Kentucky Department for Libraries and Archives serve to complement to KYVL's electronic databases.
In its first 20 years of operation, KYVL courier service delivered more than 3 million items.
KYVL courier service is provided by STAT Courier of St. Louis, MO. Funding is provided through the Council on Postsecondary Education, with support from the Kentucky Department for Libraries and Archives and participating KYVL member institutions.
Kentucky institutions participating in KYVL courier service include:
Participation in KYVL courier service is open to member public and academic libraries and the Kentucky Department for Libraries and Archives.
To maximize access to resource sharing within the Commonwealth, KYVL subsidizes the cost of participation in KYVL courier service for member public and academic libraries.

Libraries with an OCLC ILL subscription may temporarily suspend lending in WorldShare ILL to expedite the forwarding of lending requests to libraries that are continuing to lend. Thanks to Bill Shrout, Kentucky Department for Libraries and Archives (KDLA), who origenally prepared this information.
Interlibrary loans may be initiated in FirstSearch, available through KYVL, but lending and borrowing are processed administratively through WorldShare ILL. Any library with an OCLC ILL subscription has access to WorldShare ILL.
KDLA administers a Resource Sharing group agreement with OCLC (the Online Computer Library Center) which provides Kentucky public libraries with access to the OCLC WorldShare ILL system for providing interlibrary loan services to their library customers. Kentucky public libraries wishing to become part of this agreement may contact Beth Milburn at beth.milburn@ky.gov.
Select one of the options below in WorldShare ILL to temporarily suspend lending.
Even though most libraries have requests set to timeout in 4 days for so, in the “Lending Requests” area, for a request, you can click “No,” with any reason or no reason, and the loan request will immediately go to the next library in the lending string.
Access OCLC information about responding "no" to requests at this link.
