What is it?
The ILLiad Web Circ module allows sites that use a remote desk for circulating ILL materials to access ILLiad circulation functions without having the ILLiad Client installed on circulation workstations.
How does it help?
With the Web Circulation, users can log into a restricted web view of ILLiad. In Transit, items can be marked received and returned. Other tasks available are Check Out, Check In, and Renew. Libraries can decide which functions to enable in the Customization Manager.\\
Getting Started
- Access to Web Circulation is granted in the ILLiad Staff Manage
- The Module Permissions section has a checkbox for Web Circulation Access. Please Note: The checkbox must be selected for each staff member who requires access. A generic user can be created for all staff, or individual accounts could be created or updated.
- By default, the Web Circulation module is installed with your other ILLiad web pages. To access Web Circulation, navigate to your ILLiad webpages and add the following to the end of your base URL: /WebCirc/Logon.aspx
- Self-hosted example: https://illiad.library.edu/WebCirc/Logon.aspx
- OCLC hosted example: http://libraryname.illiad.oclc.org/illiad/WebCirc/Logon.aspx
- In the ILLiad Customization Manager - go to Web Circulation
- Yes enables the function
- No disables the function
Web Circulation allows you to perform several processes, which can be turned on and off in the Customization Manager (under Web Interface | Web Circulation). These are explained in the table below.
