ILL ADMINISTRATION
Chapter 4. BORROWER FUNCTIONS
Browsing By Patron
You can browse a complete list of all active and completed ILL requests submitted by your library, arranged in alphabetic order by the name of the patron who submitted the request. If multiple active requests exist for a single patron, the requests for the patron are listed in alphabetical order, by title.
NOTE: Patron Browse is not available to lenders.
To view the Patron Browse list:
-
From the Ill Admin menu (see
The ILL Admin Menu for details),
select Borrower - Patron Browse.
- The Borrower’s Patron Browse screen displays.
Borrower’s Patron Browse Screen
- If desired, you can reconfigure, sort and filter table content (see the System Basics User Guide for details).
- Use the browse bar tools to browse the list:
- Use the Pages menu to scroll to a selected page of the list.
- Use the “titles per page” menu to specify the number of titles shown on each page of the list; 25, 50, 100 or 250.
- If the list is more than one page long, use the Previous Page
button
and
Next Page button
to scroll the
list one page at a time. Use the First Page button
and
Last Page button
to scroll to the first or last page
of the list, respectively.
To browse ILL requests by patron name:
- From the Borrower’s Patron Browse screen, enter the name of the patron in
the Patron Name text box.
- When browsing by patron, the system reads the patron name as a string of characters (rather than as separate words), reading each character from left to right.
- You may enter either a partial or complete patron last name as the search criteria. In order to locate specific ILL requests submitted by a patron, you must enter the patron name exactly as it was entered when the ILL request was submitted, last name first.
- The list updates as you type to display only those patrons that match your search term. The first occurrence of the patron appears as the first entry in the list.
To view the Full Record Display for an ILL request:
- Click a Title link in the list to display the Full Record Display for that request.
- To return to the Borrower Patron Browse screen, click the Go Back button on the Full Record Display.
