Tipasa Interlibrary Loan Procedures

The workflow is to add the request and then attach a patron's name to the request. 

1. Under the Borrowing Requests menu on the left, select Create Request. 

2. Fill in the form with citation information for the item. Choose the correct type and format:

3. Choose a "Need Before" date.

4. Scroll down to the Patron section. Type in the last name of the patron for whom you are making the request. If the patron has a Tipasa account the field will populate with the patron's name. (If the patron does not have a Tipasa account you must contact the patron and ask them to make their Tipasa account before this request can be fully processed!) Even though the patron name field is populated, the patron still is not linked to the request. 

5. Click the magnifying glass icon to the right of the patron name field. The next screen is a listing of Tipasa patron names. Click on the name of the correct patron. 

6. The patron record appears. Click on the button in the top-right "Apply Patron Data to new ILL Request." 

7. You are back on the request record and Tipasa indicates the patron data has been applied to the request. Click the SAVE FOR REVIEW button.
