Process New For Review requests
Follow the instructions below to process New for Review requests.
To process New for Review requests:
- From the Borrowing Requests category, click New For Review. The initial categories of Not Reviewed and Reviewed are listed.
- Requests under Not Reviewed are requests that have not been seen by your staff. These requests originate from a source outside of your system.
- Requests with a status of Reviewed have been saved by your staff, using the Save For Review feature.
- Click the request ID or Title to display a request.
- Review and confirm the information in the Request Details section.
- If the citation needs to be verified, click the magnifying glass icon, next to the Title, Author or standard number fields, to search WorldCat via Discover Items. A contextual search is launched for the terms selected, and the Results screen appears.
- A My library catalog link will redirect to the library's online catalog URL as set up in the Online Catalog section of the WorldCat Registry module in the OCLC Service Configuration. The following must be entered in the Online Catalog section in order for the My library catalog link to resolve: Online Catalog Direct to ISBN, Online Catalog Direct to ISSN, or Online Catalog Direct to OCLC Number.
- The My library catalog link can take 24 hours to populate.
- Refer to WorldCat Registry, Configure links to your online catalog.
- On the Results screen, you have two options:
- Click the item you want to request. Bibliographic information appears. If applicable, click Apply data, OR
- Fare clic su un collegamento al posseduto o utilizzare un percorso di posseduto personalizzato o un gruppo con profilo OCLC. On the Holdings screen, add lenders to the Lender String, then click Update request.
le informazioni sulle citazioni per le richieste di copie verranno visualizzate nella parte superiore della schermata del posseduto e rimarranno durante lo scorrimento dei potenziali prestatori. Confronta le informazioni sul posseduto del prestatore nella colonna Posseduto con le informazioni di citazione del testo di richiesta per essere sicuro che il prestatore disponga del volume esatto necessario per soddisfare la richiesta.

- The request form appears, and the bibliographic data is updated.
- Apply your constant data, and click Send Request.
- A confirmation message appears and the request is updated.
This edition and large print matching
When patrons or staff submit a borrowing request, they can choose an edition preference (Any edition, This edition, or Most recent edition) and can enter edition text (for example, "large print"). Previously, This edition and Most recent edition did not change which records bibliographic matching could treat as acceptable; matching followed the same rules as for Any edition.
If staff change edition preference or edition text after a request was processed by automation, you will need to confirm whether your workflow sends the request to automation again so matching can use the updated values.
Note: Libraries on the earlier single-match bibliographic matching path (a small number of institutions) are not affected by the addition of This edition and large print matching; behavior for those libraries remains the same.
For more information about adding Edition preference and Edition text to patron request forms, see Patron Request Workforms. If these fields are already included in your library's patron request forms, no additional configuration is needed.
This edition with an OCLC number
When This edition is selected and the request includes an OCLC number, acceptable matches are limited to that OCLC number. The system does not broaden matching using ISBN or ISSN from the request.
If no acceptable match is found on that OCLC number, the request follows the existing no-match path (typically moving the request to Review), with automation history explaining what occurred.
Note: If the edition preference in the request is Not specified/blank, it will now be treated like Any edition except if large print edition text applies. See Large print in edition text below for more information.
This edition with an OCLC number matching behavior:
| Edition text | Edition preference | OCLC number on the request? | Matching behavior |
|---|---|---|---|
| Large print phrase detected | Any (including This edition) | No | Searches that run are filtered to large-print print-book records |
| Large print phrase detected | This edition | Sì | OCLC number restriction and large-print filter on that OCLC record |
| Large print phrase detected | Qualsiasi | Yes (not This edition) | OCLC / ISBN / ISSN searches run as today, with results filtered to large print |
| No large print phrase | Qualsiasi | Qualsiasi | Unchanged (except This edition with OCLC number rule above) |
Large print in edition text
When edition text indicates large print (English and non-English phrases), acceptable matches are limited to large-print print-book records in WorldCat, using the same title-matching rules as today when ISBN or ISSN search is involved.
- Detection uses edition text (case-insensitive matching against approved phrases), including common English variants (for example, large print, large type, largeprint) and non-English phrases also indicating large print.
- This applies in addition to existing title, ISBN, ISSN, and OCLC number matching rules. When bibliographic matching searches for matches, results are filtered to large-print print books.
- Large print and This edition with OCLC number are independent. Both can apply on the same request (for example, This edition, an OCLC number, and large print in edition text). When both apply, ISBN and ISSN searches are skipped and the OCLC number result must satisfy the large-print filter.
- If no acceptable large-print match remains after filtering, the request follows the existing no-match path (typically moving the request to Review for staff intervention), with automation history explaining what occurred.
Large print in edition text matching behavior:
Note: Large print is a print book concept. Acceptable matches are limited to records WorldCat treats as large-print print books.
| Edition text | Edition preference | OCLC number on the request? | Matching behavior |
|---|---|---|---|
| Large print phrase detected | Any (including This edition) | No | Searches that run are filtered to large-print print-book records |
| Large print phrase detected | This edition | Sì | OCLC number restriction and large-print filter on that OCLC record |
| Large print phrase detected | Qualsiasi | Yes (not This edition) | OCLC / ISBN / ISSN searches run, with results filtered to large print |
| No large print phrase | Qualsiasi | Qualsiasi | Unchanged (except This edition with OCLC number rule above) |

Display holdings

To display holdings, use one of the following options:
- Click State Holdings, Regional Holdings, or All Holdings.
- State Holdings: Holdings within your state displayed in alphabetical order by institution name.
- Regional Holdings: Holdings from states or provinces that border your state. Bodies of water are not considered when determining borders. Your institution's state or province is listed first, followed by other states or provinces in alphabetical order.
- All Holdings: Your institution's state or province is listed first, followed by other states or provinces in alphabetical order.
Note: A line separates holdings for each state and province. Within each state or province, holdings are listed alphabetically by institution name
- To display holdings from a Custom Holdings Path or OCLC profiled Group, select that option from the Filter by drop-down list. Click Go to see results based on the selected filters. See Filter holdings to build a lender string for more information.
Filter holdings to build a lender string
When viewing holdings for an item, you can filter the list of holdings to assist in building a lender string. If you select both a Custom Holdings Path and a year or volume, the lender string will automatically populate with libraries from the first section of the display.
Filter by Custom Holdings Path
You can filter holdings by a custom holdings path when the item requested is a book or other monograph as well as for copy requests where:
- The patron did not specify the year or volume.
- The holding libraries do not specify their year or volume-level holdings.
- Select a custom holdings path from the drop-down list.
- Click Go. The results list identifies the group of the holding library in the Group column. Groups are also delineated by a heavy gray line.
- If you select both a Custom Holdings Path and a year or volume, the lender string will automatically populate with libraries from the first section of the display.
- Click Yes in the Supplier column to add lenders to the string. You can add up to 15 lenders from the results list.
Nota: i percorsi di posseduto personalizzati che contengono gruppi con profilo possono essere applicati completamente solo tramite automazioni configurate in Gestione richieste automatizzate. Se il percorso di posseduto personalizzato è stato applicato manualmente, viene visualizzato un avviso. Per creare una stringa prestatore parziale dal percorso dei posseduti personalizzato corrente che non includa i simboli del gruppo con profilo, fare clic su OK. Fare clic su Annulla per chiudere questa finestra e instradare manualmente la richiesta all'automazione oppure selezionare un percorso di posseduti personalizzato diverso. Per ulteriori informazioni, vedere Percorso di posseduto personalizzato.
Filter with Year and Volume
When viewing holdings for a journal or other periodical, you can filter the list of holdings by year or year and volume. This data is populated from the lending library's local holdings record or knowledge base holdings.
- Enter a year in the Year field
Or
Enter a year in the Year field and a volume in the Volume field. - Fare clic su Vai.
- The results list is split into three sections, delineated by a heavy gray horizontal line:
- Libraries that hold the year/volume
- Libraries where local holdings are not available
- Libraries that do not hold the year/volume
- If you select both a Custom Holdings Path and a year or volume, the lender string will automatically populate with libraries from the first section of the display.
- The results list is split into three sections, delineated by a heavy gray horizontal line:
- Click Yes in the Supplier column to add lenders to the string. You can add up to 15 lenders from the results list. A lender string will be added based on libraries that hold the year/volume.
