In case this is helpful; see also attached document for details on how to adjust settings within ILLiad and other tools. <<OCLC held an online session on March 24 called “Managing your library’s ILL services during the COVID-19 crisis,” and below is the recording and slide deck. Please share out. The question you asked about deflecting monographs and only
allowing electronic serials, etc. can be configured in ILLiad. The presentation includes section on supplier or non-supplier considerations for ILLiad and much more. --jeb John Burger, Executive Director Association of Southeastern Research Libraries (ASERL) c/o Robert W.

On Behalf Of Mazzarella, Rebecca A Another thing - I am just telling my patrons that I can only get scans, no loans. I don't expect anyone to loan me anything, and I am not loaning anything. I thought I read in both an ASERL
e-mail and a VIVA e-mail (we belong to both) that we should no longer ship any materials.

FYI, I am going into the library 1 day a week and can make physical copies on that day only.

I’ve already set this up for EMU & EMM.
A common frustration was that borrowers can’t tell
when building a lending string which lenders are deflecting loan requests and not scanning from print because the lender’s ILL office is closed and staff are working from home to fill from e-resources only. These lenders are not lowercase because they
can fill from online, but borrowers don’t want to waste their time or waste space in their lending string if the borrower really wants to find a lender with access to fill with/from a print copy. The proposed solution was for lenders that are e-only to change
their Days to Respond for loans to be 20 (they would still keep their Days to Respond for copies to be 2 or 4 or whatever). Then borrowers at a glance -- and without onerously needing to check the Policies Directory -- would know not to send loan or scan-from-print
requests to that lender if they saw 20 as the Days to Respond for loans.
