How do I manually create a new request in the ILLiad Client?
Applies to
- ILLiad
Answer
If you want to create a request that does not come from the website or some other source, here's what to do:
- Open a User's account. You can search within the Home ribbon in the Search Users area, or if they do not have an account you can make a new user from the Borrowing ribbon. If the user has a request, you can also open the request and click the orange User button labeled View.
- In the User's window there are Borrowing and Document Delivery buttons. Click whichever type of request you are making.
- Once you click, a new window for the request will open that is blank except for the user information. Be sure to include any information the lender may need to supply the request.
