Description Sonia Bouis 2024-10-29 15:06:08 UTC
At the moment, ILL Module create biblios records only if the document is a book type. As DVD and Thesis are physical documents too, ILL module should create a biblio for these types of document too.
Comment 1 Katrin Fischer 2024-10-29 15:06:54 UTC
I wonder, is there any it should not create a record for? And which backend is this about?
Comment 2 Sonia Bouis 2024-10-29 15:09:01 UTC
Backend Freeform or the generic form (BZ35570)
Comment 3 Katrin Fischer 2024-10-29 15:10:02 UTC
Thanks, I liked them :)
Comment 4 Mathieu Saby 2024-10-29 15:41:55 UTC
In my opinion we need a record if we "check-out" an item linked to that record, and expect the item to be checked-in, to be returned in its library.
This is the current habit for books, DVD, but (I speak for my library...) this is not the case for an article: we will give to our user a photocopy or a PDF, and we won't expect them to "check-in" the photocopy or the PDF.
Comment 5 Katrin Fischer 2024-10-29 16:53:09 UTC
Hm, we do have items for the photocopies in our backend implementation, because it allows us to transfer it to another pick-up location using the hold and transport mechanisms. It's then checked out to the user on pick-up but "auto-returns" itself, so we can tell that it actually was picked up.
Comment 6 Mathieu Saby 2024-12-01 15:15:13 UTC
It is very dependant from the context.

What should be really nice would be the possibility for libraries to decide (with a syspref ?) for which document type they want the ILL to create an item.
Comment 7 Mathieu Saby 2025-03-15 15:32:23 UTC
Would you agree to make the make the evolution request more generic like that?

"The library should be able decide for each type of request if a bibliographic record and an item should be created"
