To assist implementors in the use of the ILL Application Standards, the Interlibrary Loan Application Standards Maintenance Agency (ILL ASMA) provides summaries of discussions and written responses to frequently asked questions concerning aspects of the ILL Application standards which are viewed as ambiguous or require interpretation.

Questions may be raised at meetings of the ILL Protocol Implementors Group (IPIG) which acts as Advisory Committee for the Maintenance Agency, or on the IPIG listserve (naildd-protocol-l@pigasus.com). ILL ASMA prepares draft versions "Clarification" documents which are reviewed at quarterly IPIG meetings. At the quarterly IPIG meetings, any "pending" clarification documents are reviewed and either "approved" as presented or returned to the ILL ASMA for revision or for further discussion.
