Configuring Customer-Level ISSI Options

The Inter-System Sharing Initiative (ISSI) supports interlibrary loan activities (borrowing and lending) between libraries in different SHAREit systems. The Configure ISSI function lets you allow or disallow ISSI for your SHAREit system, enable or disable ISSI participation for all libraries in your SHAREit system, allow or disallow library-level modifications, and select the ISSI participants with which libraries in your system may choose to trade.

NOTE: The Configure ISSI function at the customer-level is available to Customer SuperUsers only.

To configure ISSI options:

Log in to the customer-level account for your SHAREit system (see the System Basics User Guide for details).
From the ILL Admin menu (see The ILL Admin Menu for details), select Configure ISSI.
- The Customer ISSI Configuration screen displays.

Use the Enable ISSI participation for the system checkbox to allow or disallow ISSI participation for all libraries in your SHAREit system.
NOTE: The Enable ISSI participation for the system checkbox is selected by default.
- A checkmark indicates all libraries in your SHAREit system are allowed to participate in ISSI.
- An empty checkbox indicates that all libraries in your SHAREit system are not allowed to participate in ISSI.
- Clicking the checkbox repeatedly will toggle it on and off.
  - When the Enable ISSI participation for the system checkbox is selected, the ISSI Participant? – Yes radio button on the Participant Record (see Participant Record Data Fields Chart for details) for each library in your SHAREit system is selected.
    NOTE: When ISSI participation is allowed, each library within your SHAREit system may choose whether to enable or disable ISSI functionality for their library (see Configuring Library-Level ISSI Options for details).
  - When the Enable ISSI participation for the system checkbox is not selected, the ISSI Participant? field on the Participant Record (see Participant Record Data Fields Chart for details) is not shown.
When the Enable ISSI participation for the system checkbox is selected, use the ISSI Participation for all libraries buttons to enable or disable ISSI participation for all libraries in your SHAREit system (see Configuring Library-Level ISSI Options for more information).
- Click the Enable button to select the Participate in ISSI checkbox on the Library ISSI Configuration screen (enable ISSI participation) for all libraries in your SHAREit system.
- Click the Disable button to deselect the Participate in ISSI checkbox on the Library ISSI Configuration screen (disable ISSI participation) for all libraries in your SHAREit system.
Use the Library level modifications allowed checkbox to allow or disallow changes to ISSI options at the library level (seesee Configuring Library-Level ISSI Options for more information).
- A checkmark indicates that changes to ISSI options at the library level are allowed.
- An empty checkbox indicates that changes to ISSI options at the library level are not allowed.
- Clicking the checkbox repeatedly will toggle it on and off.
Use the Participants checkboxes to select the states (external SHAREit systems) with which libraries in your SHAREit system may perform interlibrary loan activities.
NOTE: The Participants field lists all available states (external SHAREit systems). All Participants checkboxes are selected by default.
- A checkmark indicates all libraries in your SHAREit system may perform interlibrary loan activities with libraries associated with the participant system.
- An empty checkbox indicates all libraries in your SHAREit system may not perform interlibrary loan activities with libraries associated with the participant system.
- Clicking a checkbox repeatedly will toggle it on and off.
Click the Save button to save your changes.
- The message “Settings saved” shows briefly at the bottom of the screen.
