Proven senders can include all lenders, only a specific custom holdings group, or all lenders except for a specified custom holdings group to be excluded.
Create new custom holdings groups on the Custom Holdings Groups screen (WorldShare ILL > Custom Holdings Groups).
Note: Turning on Proven Senders does not affect any requests that are already In Transit.

Number of years required for copyright |
This setting determines the number of years required for copyright, depending on your library's interpretation of the CONTU guidelines. This number is referred to as your "copyright time frame." The default setting is 5 calendar years. For example, if you have 5 calendar years selected, and you are processing a borrowing request that has an issue date within five years of the current year, you will have to select a copyright clearance. If the issue date is over five years old, you will not have to select a copyright clearance. If the number of years required changed, new requests will be evaluated based on the new setting. Existing requests will maintain the previously selected setting. To change the number of years required for copyright:
