ILL ADMINISTRATION
Chapter 5. LENDER FUNCTIONS
Full Record Display
The Lender’s Full Record Display provides a complete summary of the ILL request you have received as a lender. The Full Record Display provides complete bibliographic information for the material requested, including control (accession) number if the request was generated from an Auto-Graphics union catalog; the origination, need by, and deadline dates; and provides access to the borrower’s address information, borrower’s notes, and the ILL request history. The Full Record Display is primarily read-only. You cannot make changes to any part of the Full Record Display (with the exception of the Lender Return Address and History Notes).
NOTE: If your library has enabled the optional “Modify Existing Request” functionality, Library SuperUsers or Customer SuperUsers can modify existing ILL requests with a current status of Pending (see Modifying an Existing Request on page 75 for details).
The Full Record Display for any ILL request may be accessed using Status Browse (see Using the Request Manager for details), Title Browse (see Browsing By Title for details), or by using Request Number Search (see Searching By Request Number for details).
NOTE: The Full Record Display may include both mandatory (system default) and optional fields. The default content and arrangement of the Full Record display is determined by the Customer SuperUser for your consortium or collective. The content and arrangement of the Full Record display for your library is determined by your Library SuperUser. Some fields may not be included in the Full Record Display for your library or consortium. Additionally, the Full Record may contain up to six “customer specified” fields specific to your library or consortium.
