If you send an Interlibrary Loan (ILL) request to all potential
lenders in the reQuest system and the request is returned unfilled, consider
trying to obtain the material from libraries outside of the reQuest system.
From the reQuest ILL system, you have two options: you can either have unfilled
requests sent to your own OCLC ILL account, or you can have unfilled requests
referred to additional libraries by the Connecticut Library Consortium's (CLC)
OCLC ILL service.
Option A: If your library has an OCLC ILL Account
If your library uses OCLC ILL , we can set up a means through
which any unfilled reQuest ILL may be sent directly to your OCLC ILL Review
File. This will eliminate the need for re-keying requests from the reQuest/ILL
system into the OCLC system. (Contact the reQuest ILL Coordinator for details.)
Option B: If your library does not have an OCLC ILL
Account
The Connecticut Library Consortium (CLC) will be providing
brokering services for unfilled reQuest ILLs. You can forward an unfilled ILL
from the reQuest system to CLC, by following the steps outlined below.
-
Type ROC1, into the unfilled request's Lender List. The ROC1 is the broker
code. Make sure that you type the code and the comma or your request will not
be forwarded to the broker.
-
Select Approve/Send from the pull-down menu that is located toward the top of
the request.
-
Hit the Submit button. This will forward the request to CLC. They then will
send the ILL request to libraries outside the reQuest system.
CLC will bill your library $9.00 per request for this service
for all requests initiated between January 1, 2004 to June 30, 2004 . This fee
is charged regardless of whether the request is filled, and does not include
any associated lending library fees (i.e. photocopy charges, etc.). While CLC
makes every attempt to get the item(s) from libraries that do not charge, note
that you can also specify a maximum cost of what you are willing to pay if the
requested item is available from libraries that charge associated fees.
