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, and select the ISSI participants with which libraries in your system may select to trade.

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

To configure ISSI options:

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

    • An empty checkbox 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 System Wide 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.
