ILL ADMINISTRATION
Chapter 2. INTERLIBRARY LOAN REQUESTS
Interlibrary Loan Requests - Overview
Four options are provided for generating interlibrary loan requests:
- ILL Request Form - used when a bibliographic record for the desired title is available
- Blank Request Form - used when no bibliographic record for the desired title can be found
- Reference Request Form - used to submit reference or information questions
- 3rd Party Request - used when the consortium uses a 3rd party Resource Sharing ILL system
Both the Blank Request Form and the ILL Request Form can be used to create multi-copy requests that generate multiple ILL requests from one request form. Interlibrary loan requests can be initiated by library staff and, if authorized, by library patrons (see the RESEARCHit Search User Guide or Circ-ILL User Guide, as appropriate, for details).
This chapter provides the procedures to:
- Prepare and submit an interlibrary loan request using the ILL Request Form
- Prepare and submit an interlibrary loan request using the Blank Request Form
- Prepare and submit multi-copy requests
- Prepare and submit a reference request
- Prepare and submit a 3rd Party Request to an external ILL system
