ILL Fine Rates
Please list the fine rates you would like for specific formats borrowed via ILL. You may have up to 3 different fine rates. Please remember these are fines you charge your patrons when they return ILLs overdue. There are four item types available for ILL items borrowed and circulated: 200 - ILL AV - usually used for audiobooks and music if you charge different fine rates for ILLs with these formats 201 - ILL Book 202 - ILL article - usually used if an entire magazine/journal is borrowed and you have a different fine rate 203 - ILL DVD - usually used for DVDs and videogames if they are the same fine rate Example (Your library only uses two ILL fine rates, then you only need to fill out two of the boxes): Everything but DVDs - $.10/day, DVDs = $1.00/day.
Patron Types and Max ILLS
Please list your library's patron types and how many maximum concurrent ILLs they can have. Max ILL (at one time) - The maximum number of concurrent interlibrary loan requests that can be acquired for a patron before the patron is blocked from further ILL requests. 0-999. A value of 999 indicates that there is no limit to the number of ILL items that the patron can request. A value of 0 disables ILL for the patron. Max ILL (per interval) - The maximum number of interlibrary loan requests the patron can have over a period of time. The time period is determined by how often your library resets the value of the ILL REQUEST fixed-length field in your patron records. 0-999. A value of 999 indicates that there is no limit to the number of ILL items that the patron can request. A value of 0 disables ILL for the patron. For example: pr-regular, max ILL at one time = 99, max ILL per interval = 999
