Einrichten der Integration

Hier finden Sie Informationen zum Einrichten der Integration zwischen WorldShare Circulation und WorldShare Interlibrary Loan.

Bibliotheken, die sowohl WorldShare Interlibrary Loan als auch WorldShare Management Services abonnieren, können den ILL-Ausleihprozess und -Arbeitsablauf durch die Integration von WorldShare Interlibrary Loan und WorldShare Circulation optimieren. Bibliothekare und Mitarbeiter, die Fernleihen bearbeiten, müssen WorldShare Circulation nicht mehr manuell aktualisieren, um temporäre Artikel und Benutzervormerkungen zu erstellen, Benutzergebühren für Fernleihen zu berechnen, Artikel auszuleihen, die Ihre Bibliothek verleiht, oder Artikel am Ende der Leihfrist zurückzugeben.

Dieses Thema enthält Details zum Einrichten der WorldShare ILL- und WorldShare Circulation-Integration.  Damit die Integration ordnungsgemäß funktioniert, müssen alle Schritte abgeschlossen werden.

Einrichten der Dienstkonfiguration

Um die Integration einzurichten, benötigen Sie Zugriff auf die Servicekonfiguration. Wenn Sie keinen Zugriff haben, bitten Sie Ihren WorldShare Management Services (WMS)-Administrator, Systembibliothekar oder den für die Konfiguration zuständigen Mitarbeiter um Unterstützung beim Zugriff und der Einrichtung.

Zusammenfassung und Checkliste der Schritte 

Erledigt Aktion „Dienstkonfiguration“ Description
  Schritt 1: Richtlinienüberlegungen und Einrichtung  Bevor Sie die Integration aktivieren, überprüfen Sie Ihre Ausleihrichtlinien und konfigurieren Sie Ihren Regalstandort und das Benutzerkonto der ausleihenden Institution.
  Schritt 2: Aktivieren Sie die WorldShare Circulation-Integration mit WorldShare Interlibrary Loan Aktivieren Sie im Abschnitt „ILL-Einstellungen“ im WMS-Ausleihmodul der OCLC-Servicekonfiguration die Integration und geben Sie Informationen zum Benutzer-Barcode der ausleihenden Institution, zum gewünschten temporären Aufbewahrungsort und Regalstandort des Artikels sowie zu optionalen Benutzergebührenrichtlinien für ILL-Materialien ein.
  Schritt 3: Bearbeiten Sie Ihr Mäzen-Anfrageformular Fügen Sie Ihrem Benutzeranforderungsformular ein Benutzer-ID- Feld hinzu, in das Benutzer ihren Benutzer-Barcode eingeben können. Dieser Eintrag verbindet die Anfrage mit dem Benutzerkonto und erstellt eine Vormerkung in WorldShare Circulation.
  Schritt 4: Integration aktivieren Nachdem Sie die obigen Schritte abgeschlossen haben, aktivieren Sie die Integration von WorldShare Interlibrary Loan und WorldShare Circulation.

Schritt 1: Richtlinienüberlegungen und Einrichtung

Die folgenden Ausleihrichtlinien können im WMS-Ausleihmodul oder im WorldShare ILL-Modul der Servicekonfiguration festgelegt werden. 

Review policies for Borrowing integration:

Determine the Item Holding Location and Shelving Location to be used for temporary items created in WorldShare Circulation.  This will determine which Circulation policies will be invoked for ILL requests as well as the location where the temporary item is checked in and the branch where holds are fulfilled.  This location will be entered into the ILL Settings section of the WorldShare Circulation module of the Service Configuration in Step 2.

Based on the chosen Holding Location and Shelving Location, review the following Circulation policies:

Policy Überlegungen

Richtlinien zur Ausleihbenachrichtigung

 

Legen Sie fest, welche Benachrichtigungen an die Kunden gesendet werden sollen.

Verbreitungshinweise:

  • Bill Notification
  • Hold Pickup Notification
  • Hold Shelf Expiry Notification
  • Benachrichtigung bei überfälliger Ausleihe
  • Rückrufbenachrichtigungen

 

Loan Limit Policy and Loan Limit Matrix

WorldShare ILL renewals will not be automatically reflected in Circulation.  

To prevent patrons from being able to renew items in WorldCat Discovery, set the Renew Time Limit to zero (0).

Loan Policy and Loan Policy Map

Legen Sie Abrechnung, Ausleihfristen, Verlängerungen und Rückrufe für ILL-Artikel fest.

 Note:  At checkout, the Due date will revert to the more restrictive of either the Circulation Policy or the due date of the ILL request. 

Bill Reason

Set up a Bill Reason to indicate the patron is being billed for ILL items.  

For ILL fees to be assessed, the associated Bill Reason must be set to Applies to anything under the Associated With setting.

Hold Fulfillment Policy and Hold Fulfillment Policy Map

Legen Sie eine Abholbenachrichtigung fest und reservieren Sie das Haltbarkeitsdatum für ILL-Artikel.

Hold Pickup Locations Map

WorldShare ILL integration allows libraries to choose Registry branches as pickup locations. If no pickup location is selected in the request or the pickup location in the request is not a WMS branch, then Circulation’s hold request will default to using the patron’s home branch as the pickup location. 

Stellen Sie sicher, dass von WorldShare ILL erstellte Vormerkungen gültige Abholorte haben, indem Sie in der Karte der Vormerkungsabholorte eine Zeile einfügen, in der der Vormerkungsort der WS ILL-Standort ist, der Regalstandort auf „Alle“ eingestellt ist und alle Heimatfilialen des Benutzers in den Standardabholorten und/oder alternativen Abholorten vertreten sind.

Review policies for Lending integration:

Create a borrowing institution patron account in order to check out materials that will be lent to other institutions via WorldSHare Interlibrary Loan.  

  1. Klicken Sie im Admin -Modul auf Benutzerverwaltung und wählen Sie Neuer Benutzer aus.
  2. Geben Sie die erforderlichen Informationen ein: Barcode, Benutzertyp und Heimatfiliale.
  3. Optional. Geben Sie eine mit einem Mitarbeiterkonto verknüpfte E-Mail-Adresse ein, um Benachrichtigungen zu Ausleihanfragen zu erhalten.

When lending materials, you will use this account to check out your items to borrowing libraries.  When viewing the item in WorldShare Circulation, the Item Details will include the Request ID and the borrowing institution for additional reference.

Schritt 3: Bearbeiten Sie Ihr Mäzen-Anfrageformular

To use the integration with the WorldCat Discovery Patron Request Form:

You must have your Patron Request Form configured with the Patron ID field so that patrons are required to enter their patron barcode when submitting ILL requests. If you do not already have this field configured, complete the steps below. For additional information about editing the Patron Request Form, see Configure your patron request forms.

  1. Click WorldShare ILL > Patron Request Workforms in the left navigation. 
  2. Ensure that you have a Patron ID field in your form. You can change the name of this field to Patron Barcode or other library-specific terminology to direct the patron to enter this information.
  3. Optional—Instructions for your patrons: Patrons must enter their patron barcode in the Patron Request Form. It will automatically populate if the user is signed in. You may want to add a Note to Patron field below the Patron ID field on your form to provide information about what must be entered (e.g., Please enter your 9-digit patron barcode in the field above.).
  4. Select the required check box for the Patron ID field to require patrons to enter this information when placing a request. If no Patron ID or an invalid Patron ID is entered, the integration process will not work. Patron ID's will be automatically linked to the request if the user is signed in.
  5. Click Save.

To use the integration without the Patron Request Form:

If you do not use the patron request form in WorldCat Discovery to allow patrons to create their own requests, staff can supply the patron ID in the ILL request screen to trigger WorldShare Interlibrary Loan-Circulation integration.

Step 4: Activate WorldShare Interlibrary Loan and WorldShare Circulation integration

After you have completed the above steps, activate WorldShare Interlibrary Loan and WorldShare Circulation integration.

 Caution: Activating features on this page is the final step.  Integration will be active based on the configured settings after this page is saved.
