Requesting

 

Notes:

Topic: Requests
Tania Fersenheim

Loan Policy Metadata

Request types / “requestable”

Hold: non-renewable
Hold: alternatively, could be renewed so patron can keep as long as s/he needs it; or this could be flagged for circ review, etc; see staff request;

Recall: shortens loan period; non-renewable

Storage request: Storage & paging need to be separate requests; the system needs to be able to talk to external system (ASRS, for example)
Paging request (“paging”)

Set aside for later discussion:
Staff request (examples)

  • Recalls for reserves
  • Scanning requests
  • Fulfillment (?)

Set aside for later discussion:

  • Scanning / digitization
  • Resource sharing request: externally initiated, by ILLiad, etc. via NCIP
  • [Interoperability w/ ILLiad]

Loan policy / Request policy

Can request policy settings be included in loan policies? Are these separate things?

Link to Filip’s prototype:

If loan rules and request rules are separate, how would they work together?

Not all requests are for something that is a loan (storage, paging)

Loan policies: what governs the transaction: is it loanable?
Loan rules: this is how you target a loan policy to a transaction; [Ex: for this transaction, use loan policy A]

Next steps?

Tania:

  • Focus on one request type & think about all the pieces
  • Look at recall & holds, what policies do we want to govern them?

Cate:

  • Proposed user interface for locations
