By default, the ILL module offers for request all seven of the material types listed in the table below. To remove a type, select "no."
Your organization may customize the ILL request menu. Enter custom menu names, messages, and prompts in the tables below.
The ILL request menu displays default names for each of the material types. To display custom names for the material types, enter them in the table below.
Enter a message to display at the top of the ILL request menu. For example:
Requests for books normally take ten days to get, and are provided free for graduate students. Undergraduates are charged $5.00 for each request.
Requesters describe the item they want by entering data in response to prompts. A total of twelve user prompts may be specified for each type of material. Innovative offers defaults for the first eight prompts (Q1 through Q4). Defaults differ for each material type. Your organization may customize these prompts and specify three additional prompts (Q5a through Q5c). For example, your organization could specify an additional prompt "How should the library deliver this item to you?" Use Q6 to offer a "Cancel if not filled by" prompt. Enter custom prompts in the tables below.
Permission to request a material type may be limited to specific patron types. For example, the library might allow all patrons to request books and journals, but only graduate students to request dissertations. Enter 0-255 if all patron types may request the material type.
Modifying the Copyright Statement
By default, the system displays the following copyright statement when an item is requested. To display a different copyright statement, enter it below.
The copyright law of the United States (Title 17, United States Code), governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of copyrighted material.
Under certain conditions specified in the law, libraries and archives are authorized to furnish a photocopy or other reproduction. One of these specified conditions is that the photocopy or reproduction is not to be "used for any purpose other than private study, scholarship, or research." If a user makes a request for, or later uses, a photocopy or reproduction for purposes in excess of "fair use," that user may be liable for copyright infringement.
This institution reserves the right to refuse to accept a copying order, if, in its judgement, fulfillment of the order would involve violation of copyright law.

Specifying a Default Follow-up Period
Your organization may specify a default follow-up period for each type of material. For example, if you specify 30 days as the follow-up period, then the follow-up date for the request will be automatically set to 30 days after the date on which the request was selected for acquisition. Note that you may override this follow-up date when the request is processed.
Acquiring a Request by Creating an Order Record
Your organization can have the ability to create orders for requested items in Innovative's Acquisitions module. If an order record is created, these items will be purchased for your organization's permanent collection.
If you are creating order records to acquire requested items, provide the name of the default templates for bibliographic and order records.
Leave the text box blank if you would like the system to prompt you with the list of templates from your organization's file of defaults.
