Configuring ILLiad for copyright management
Answer
By default, ILLiad sends all incoming article requests to Awaiting Copyright Clearance whether they fall within the CONTU Rule of 5 or not. Using a simple routing rule, however, you can send requests for articles published over 5 years ago (thus exempt from the Rule of 5) straight to Awaiting Request Processing (or to your unmediated services). This eliminates having to manually clear these requests during Copyright Processing.
Note in the example below that you can change the NewTransactionStatus to one of your automated services, such as:
- IDS Project’s ALIAS: Awaiting IDS Sending
- RapidILL: Awaiting RAPID Request Sending
- OCLC Direct Request: Awaiting Direct Request Sending
| Rule No | (this varies, but should come before all other rules for articles) |
| Rule Active | Yes |
| Process Type | Borrowing |
| Transaction Status | Awaiting Copyright Clearance |
| Match String | t.RequestType = 'Article' and len(t.PhotoJournalYear) = 4 and t.PhotoJournalYear < convert(varchar(4),(datepart(year,getdate()) - 5)) |
| New Process Type | Borrowing |
| New Transaction Status | Awaiting Request Processing |
| Rule Description | Rule to bypass copyright clearance for articles exempt from the Rule of 5. |
