Renewing the Loan for an Item

Library staff from the borrowing library may submit a request for renewal on behalf of the patron that borrowed an item through interlibrary loan. Requests for renewal are placed in the Lender’s Renew Pending status category.

To accept or deny a request for renewal:

  1. Select Request Manager from the ILL Admin menu.
    • The Request Manager screen displays.
  2. Select the Renew Pending link in the Manage Lender Requests (Status) - Action Items field.
    • The Renew Pending Status Browse List displays.
  3. To accept a request for renewal:
    • Select Accept Renewal from the Status menu for the desired request, then click the Submit button.
      • The status of the request is set to Borrower’s Accepted Renewal, and the due date for the item is adjusted accordingly.
  4. To reject a request for renewal:
    • Select Reject Renewal from the Status menu for the desired request, then click the Submit button.
      • The status of the request is set to Borrower’s Rejected Renewal, and the original due date for the item is retained.

    NOTE: If your library has specified a Renewal Denied Grace Period in their ILL Circulation Options (see Setting ILL Circulation Options for details), the specified number of grace days are added to the original due date when a request for renewal is rejected.

  5. To recall an item:
    • Select Recall from the Status menu for the desired request, then click the Submit button.
      • The status of the request is set to Borrower’s Recalled.
