Locating ILL Lenders

You can use the Locate Lender function to locate lenders within your consortium by either Library Code or library name. If your library participates in the Inter-System Sharing Initiative (ISSI) (see Configuring Library-Level ISSI Options for details), you can use the Locate Lender function to locate ISSI libraries as well as libraries within your SHAREit system.

To locate a lender:

1. Click the Locate Lender button above the Lender List on the Blank Request Form (see Using the Blank Request Form for details).
   • The Locate Lender search fields display.

2. Click the radio button appropriate to the type of search you wish to perform.
   • To search by library code, click the Code radio button.
   • To search by library name, click the Name radio button.
3. Enter your search criteria in the text box provided.
   • You may enter a partial or complete Library Code or library name.

     NOTE: To view all libraries registered in your library’s database, leave the text box blank.

4. Click the Search button.
   • A results screen displays listing all libraries that match your search criteria.

5. Add lenders to the lender list as desired:
   • To clear all lenders currently in the Lender List, click the Lender List Clear All icon .
     • The search results close, and all libraries are cleared from the Lender List.
   • To add all lenders in the search results to the Lender List, click the icon .
     • The search results close, and all libraries included in the search results are added to the Lender List.
   • To add one or more selected libraries to the Lender List:
     • Use the checkboxes to select the desired libraries. A checkmark indicates the associated library will be added to the Lender List. An empty checkbox indicates the associated library will not be added to the Lender List. Clicking a checkbox repeatedly will toggle it on and off.
     • When all desired libraries have been selected, click the ADD button to add the selected lenders to the Lender List.
     • The search results close, and the selected libraries are added to the Lender List.
   • To close the search results and search fields without adding lenders to the Lender List, click the CLOSE button.
