  • Look into Ignore electronic enhancement: November 2020 Fulfillment - Resource Sharing
    Previously, when locate at lender side by metadata found more than one bibliographic record, it returned a failure without considering the Ignore Electronic option. So if there were two bibliographic records, one holds a physical resource and the other holds an electronic resource, the locate failed. This was fixed. When Ignore Electronic is set to true, Alma now searches only for records that have physical items and calculates the locate result accordingly. To enable this functionality, set the temp_rs_locate_use_ignore_on_bib_search parameter to true.

ILLiad NCIP and impact on Alma Analytics

Natalya

• Difficult to calculate fill rates because you can’t filter out specific a partner. We may want to house ILLiad requests in a separate library, but will need to explore that it does not affect existing workflow. This would reduce extra filters and make gathering analytics easier.
