WorldCat Resource Sharing Enhancements
Below is a list of recent enhancements to WorldCat Resource Sharing:
- There is a new reason for no within the drop-down menu. “Not licensed to fill” should be used when the lending library does own the item but due to contractual obligations is unable to fill (e.g. electronic resources).
- When a lender replies to a request with “Not found as cited” as the reason for no, the request will be returned as Unfilled for the borrower. This will provide the borrower an opportunity to correct the citation, or delete the request. The request will no longer be routed to any additional lenders.
- Users are able to print labels when individual requests are processed as well as through batch functionality.
- The ability to view 20, 50, 75, or 99 requests in a given category is persistent when users go from category to category.
- Users are able to search the archive with the closed date as the search guide.
- Some users have experienced not being able to update their records when an electronic delivery method was present in the Shipped Via field of the request form. This also occurred in the Electronic Delivery fields. This was due to an error in coding and has been corrected.
