TUT LIS IT & SYTEMS 1Compiled by Nokuphiwa

TUT LIS IT & SYTEMS MILLENNIUM ILL TRAINING TUT LIS decided to use Millennium ILL for the purposes of circulating ILL items that have been received from the Lending Library instead of circulating such items manually because there is no Interface between Request and Millennium. Prior the decision to use Millennium ILL, we circulated lent resources manually and it was difficult to properly manage and administer such ILL resources. Though using Millennium ILL meant that ILL staff have to redo the process they did on Request, TUT ILL staff have been cooperative. Because the item has already been requested and received on Request, some fields are omitted when we create the new

TUT LIS IT & SYTEMS MILLENNIUM ILL TRAINING request on Millennium ILL. Before Millennium ILL can be used, the Systems Librarian has to setup the ILL module together with Innovative by completing the ILL Worksheets. After the module has been setup, the System Librarian has to setup the system parameters, i.e. defining request type.

TUT LIS IT & SYTEMS MILLENNIUM ILL TRAINING TUT uses Millennium ILL for the purposes of circulating items that are not in the institution’s Millennium database. Before entering a request on the system, make sure that the Lending Library’s patron record with the correct address is on the system otherwise you will not be able to place a request for the Lending Library if their patron record is not on your system. Millennium ILL has another system ART that makes it possible to send nonreturnable items like photocopies directly to the patron, in that case the virtual record is not created instead the request will be transferred from the New Request file to the Filled Request file.
