Designate Electronic Delivery Address in Admin Module

To further automate the processing of resource sharing requests, users of WorldCat Resource Sharing and ILLiad will have the ability to designate electronic delivery addresses in the WorldCat Services administrative module. These include: Ariel E-mail (MIME), Ariel FTP (IP), Odyssey, Skype, Yahoo Instant Messenger, Windows Live Messenger.

Copy/Loan Selection Box
A new field on the staff workform also will allow users to manually select whether their request is for a copy or a loan. OCLC's current resource sharing system designates a request for a copy or loan based on the presence or absence of article data in the workform as well as the presence or absence of a due date. With the new field, users will be able to mark this option as a part of their regular workflow. Note: The field is not required, and if a user does not designate a request for a copy or loan, OCLC's resource sharing system will default to the automated method on behalf of the borrower/lender.
