Rapido Pods
Mutual commitments within pods can include no transaction fees, delivery time, loan period, and more requests. To avoid overload on specific libraries, Rapido also allows load balance requests to ensure everyone lends and borrows equally. The pods listed on this page are designated for returnables.
For Document Delivery, as part of Rapido, you join the RapidILL pods and community. The system allows for the processing of a high number of requests, with time-zone awareness, precise holdings records, load balancing, and more.

The lending due date calculation includes the delivery shipping time to the borrower, the loan period, and the return shipping time to the lender.
For example, if the shipping time is five days and the loan period is 14 days, and the current date is May 1, 2021, then the Lending Due Date = May 25, 2021 (May 1st + 5 (shipping to the borrower) + 14 (loan period) + 5 (shipping to the lender)).
Once the resource is shipped and the shipping message is sent to the borrower, the borrowing due date will also be May 25, 2021.
The loan period is the Borrowing Due Date minus the return shipping period. In our example, May 25th - five shipping days = May 20, 2021.
