Understanding Load Leveling Algorithms

The Algorithm menu offers two options for distributing ILL requests among trading partners. Only one option can be active at any given time.

The Algorithm is applied when an ILL request is submitted and the ILL Lender List is built. In the event that a new algorithm is selected while ILL requests are still in process, the in-process requests will continue to use the original algorithm.

NOTE: When building the Lender List for multi-copy requests (see Special Considerations for Multi-Copy Requests for details), the Algorithm selection is ignored.

The two Load Leveling Algorithm options are:
