Title/item-level requests discussion - what does your consortium do?

• Discuss post: https://discuss.folio.org/t/how-does-your-library-manage-requests-item-level-requests-versus-title-level-requests/1860/17

All

• Martina: title-level requests at the library level - queue of requests distributed across all items

  • consortial level: use ILL, not really an ILS title/item request

• Peter: both item and title level are available

• Steve B.: title-level requests; works well in most cases, especially for popular titles

  • item-level requests can be done with staff intervention

• Noah: title-level requests; working well; one issue with multi-volume requests

  • shows up on all libraries request lists; real-time list, which avoids multiple items being sent

  • staff can do item-level requests

• Chris: title-level requests - only places request against items available to be circulated to that patron/library (i.e. wouldn't include non-circulating items)

  • needs to distinguish policies for local patrons vs. consortial patrons

• Noah: is the system aware of item availability?

• Steve B.: Paging requests → first level of priority should be for items available at the home library

• choice of pickup location

  • FOLIO: ability to specify service point for pickup location

  • home library?

    • not entirely necessary for pickup locations; it's better to allow an individual to specify their preferred pickup location (maybe with a home library as a default)

    • probably need some notion of this

    • scenario: many libraries have local delivery rules - e.g. departmental delivery, delivery to satellite locations, etc. (with various degrees of documentation) - that are not managed/facilitated by the ILS; it would be nice to see FOLIO support these local routing rules
