At the 2005 PRDLA meeting in Hawaii, it was decided that PRDLA would attempt an interlibrary loan pilot project as a means of sharing resources among members of the alliance. The project, headed by Director Xue Fangyu of Tsinghua University, was a one-year experiment with no-fee, non-returnable interlibrary loans between PRDLA member institutions on opposite sides of the Pacific Ocean. The pilot concluded in 2007.
