TUT LIS IT & SYTEMS

MILLENNIUM ILL TRAINING

• TUT LIS decided to use Millennium ILL for the purposes of

circulating ILL items that have been received from the Lending

Library instead of circulating such items manually because there

is no Interface between Request and Millennium.• Prior the decision to use Millennium ILL, we circulated lent

resources manually and it was difficult to properly manage and

administer such ILL resources.• Though using Millennium ILL meant that ILL staff have to redo

the process they did on Request, TUT ILL staff have been

cooperative.• Because the item has already been requested and received on

Request, some fields are omitted when we create the new

request on Millennium ILL.• Before Millennium ILL can be used, the Systems Librarian has

to setup the ILL module together with Innovative by completing

the ILL Worksheets.• After the module has been setup, the System Librarian has to

setup the system parameters, i.e. defining request type.

MILLENNIUM ILL TRAINING• TUT uses Millennium ILL for the purposes of circulating items

that are not in the institution’s Millennium database.• Before entering a request on the system, make sure that the

Lending Library’s patron record with the correct email address is

on the system otherwise you will not be able to place a request

for the Lending Library if their patron record is not on your

system.• Millennium ILL has another system ARTEmail that makes it

possible to send nonreturnable items like photocopies directly to

the patron, in that case the virtual record is not created instead

the request will be transferred from the New Request file to the

Filled Request file.
