This creates a borrowing request at the local institution and a lending request at the partner institution. For physical items, the item is received by the local institution, picked up and returned by the patron, and (typically) returned to the partner institution. Electronic items can be delivered digitally or physically from the partner institution. On this page, you can: Add a new borrow request View, edit, copy, cancel, or reject a request Ask the patron for more information Edit the physical item's information Recalculate the rota (see Resource Sharing Partners and ROTAs) Send the request to the partner institution Mark a request as recalled by the partner institution, received, returned by the patron, or completed (remove the request) Renew a request or request a renewal of a request	Resource Sharing Borrowing Requests

A partner is an institution, other than yours, that is willing to fulfill a resource sharing request or that may ask you to fulfill a resource sharing request. A rota is a list of partners that are queried to see if they can fulfill a particular resource sharing borrowing request. A rota can be ordered, where the partners are queried in a specific order, or random. You can have multiple rotas, each defined by a rota template.

When you create a borrowing request, you can manually assign one or more partners to the request, either directly and/or using one or more rotas. A rota is also assigned automatically if it matches a rota assignment rule.

To configure partners, see Resource Sharing Partners. To configure rota templates, see Configuring Rota Templates. To configure rota assignment rules, see Configuring Rota Assignment Rules.

Resource sharing requests may be fulfilled by one or more items. When multiple items have been shipped for a request, multiple line items are displayed in the following places:

• Receiving/Shipping Items

Additionally, the Resource Sharing Task List indicates the existence of multiple items with a Multiple Barcodes link (see also Receiving or Shipping Multiple Items for a Single Request).

In contrast, the My Account request list shows only one line item per request. This is because Primo displays only the resource sharing request, regardless of how many items shipped to fulfill the request, while Rapido displays all the items to the operator that are on a shelf or in transit.

Rapido provides several jobs that can be used to manage requests in bulk.
