For each patron that submits a request into Relais ILL a patron record must exist. Patron records created in several different ways, including patron registration, self registration, patron load, and NCIP.
Relais ILL supports multiple options for entering and receiving requests, both from your own patrons and from other libraries. Irrespective of which method is used to enter or receive requests, all requests follow the appropriate processing rules.
NCIP (NISO Circulation Interchange Protocol) is a North American standard which allows disparate library systems to talk to each other. Find information about configuring Relais to communicate with your institution's library system via your NCIP server.
Find Relais ILL release notes and known issues. Release notes are documents that contain information about new product features and enhancements as installed in scheduled releases.
