I do not want to lend to a specific group of libraries, how do I configure my deflection policy?
Symptom
- As a lender, you can choose to lend and not lend to specific libraries, particular type of libraries and/or libraries in specific regions.
Resolution
To configure your lending preferences based on a group of libraries, you:
- Create a Custom Holdings Group in the OCLC Service Configuration (worldcat.org/config) and include symbol(s) of the library or libraries you do not want to lend to.
- Navigate to the Policies Directory and create a new deflection.
- Select Copy Or Loan and Enable real time deflection.
- Select Include for the Custom Holdings Group of choice.
- Save your new deflection policy. Lending requests from the libraries in this group will now be deflected.
