Brief Item Entry Dialog Box (ILL)

This dialog box appears when you receive an item that was requested through interlibrary loan. It is used to create the virtual item and bib that allow the ILL item to circulate in Polaris. To create the item for a regular ILL item, a matching ILL item template must already be created. To create an item for an INN-Reach request, a matching INN-Reach item template must already be created.

If the ILL Hold Request indicates the patron no longer wants the item requested (the Return Uncirculated box is checked), the following message appears: The INN-Reach request indicates the patron no longer wants this item.

Use the Brief Item Entry dialog box to:

Scan or type the barcode on the physical item being received.

Note:
If the barcode attached to the borrowed material matches an item barcode already in your Polaris system, an error message appears. To resolve this issue and allow the item to circulate, you can affix a temporary barcode to the item and scan that barcode. Your library policy determines how to respond if this occurs.

Enter an optional call number. If the item was requested through INN-Reach, the call number appears from the Item Shipped INN-Reach API message.
Add a blocking note, if applicable, in the Free text block box.
Change the default settings in the Circulation Setup area by selecting a different Material type, Loan period, or Fine code.
Click OK to create the virtual bib and item in Polaris.
