Patron Interlibrary Loan - Overview

The system provides four options for submitting interlibrary loan requests; the ILL Request Form (accessed from a Full Record Display), the 3rd Party Request (accessed from a Full Record Display), the Blank ILL Request (accessed from any screen in the Search interface) or the OpenILL request. Interlibrary loan requests can be initiated by library staff and, if authorized, by library patrons and guests. The system provides the ability for patrons to track the status of their in-process ILL requests.

NOTE: Interlibrary loan features are available for patron use only if your library has set the authorization.

This chapter provides the procedures to:
