ILL

Loans to and from other libraries are managed using ILL (Interlibrary loan). There are different workflows for items that come in to your own library on loan from other libraries (ILL in), and for items that leave your library as they are requested from other libraries (ILL out).

In the ILL section, you can search and monitor status of items under ILL in and ILL out. Under ILL in, you also register arrival of items and make manual ILL in requests. Under ILL suppliers, you can search for associated libraries and register ILL suppliers manually. You find the complete ILL details by clicking an item under ILL in or ILL out and expanding its details.

The workflow for ILL can be more or less automated, depending on if your library is connected to a national ILL service (such as Libris in Sweden or Bibliotekssøk in Norway) or if the ILLs at your library are handled completely manually.
