NEW Vermont statewide ILL system (CLOVER)

The new statewide interlibrary loan system goes online on Tuesday, August 1, 2017! Find information on the system from how-to documents and videos to background information below.

Libraries joining the VERSO catalog from LibraryWorld or are unautomated will find information below also.

CLOVER

CLOVER stands for Collaborative Libraries Of VERmont. This new system uses AutoGraphics' state-of-the-art SHAREit software to power the network. CLOVER replaces the antiquated VALS system. Users will find information much easier to discover and library staff will immediately notice the ease of use of the system. The time-consuming VALS process for borrowing materials from other libraries will be simple, short, and straightforward with CLOVER.
