Issues to Note
- We improved performance for Rapido offers.
Main Features
View Physical Pod Information from GTI Results
December 2023 Rapido URM-187146
When searching the Global index, or using the Enrich from Global Index action, Potential Physical Pod information is now viewable in the right pane. Each record displays which pod holds the resource from the pods you are part of.
Net Lender - Price Fields
December 2023 Rapido URM-199509
The Resource Sharing Borrowing/Lending Request form now includes the following Request Costs fields:
- Service Level Fee
- Page Overage Fee
- Base Fee
- Copyright Fee
These fields are primarily used by lending institutions that apply costs. Rapido pods are commonly reciprocal and are not associated with costs.
These cost fields are controlled by the Base fee page limit (Configuration > Fulfillment > Resource Sharing > Shipping Cost Lender Rules) parameter.
For example, if the total amount of pages permitted at the Base Fee rate is 10, and the total number of pages requested is 20 (calculated from the Pages field on the Borrowing request or the Start page to End page), and the Base fee page limit value is 10, and the Page Overage Fee is 1, then the patron cost is 10 (the total pages requested minus the Base fee page limit value) plus the sum of the amounts configured for the Shipping Cost, Service Level Fee, or Base Fee. In the example below, the total patron cost is 15.
The Base fee page limit rule only applies if the total requested pages exceed the configured Value.
When the costs are applied, a note is added to the borrowing request right pane indicating the costs and the costs are displayed in the Request costs section of the right pane.
View Holdings Information from GTI Results
November 2023 Rapido URM-187146
To enable you to edit and send a request based on lender information, the potential lender information is available on the right side pane when viewing results from the Global index search and the Enrich from Global Index action.
Alternative Institution Symbol
November 2023 Rapido URM-176706
To better manage partner information, you can now include an Alternate Symbol on the General Information tab (Fulfillment > Resource Sharing > Partners) for a Resource Sharing Partner.
Mediate Self Registered User Requests
August 2023 Rapido URM-192429
You can now mediate by requests created by self registered users. When the mediation rule User Authorized for Resource Sharing (Configuration > Resource Sharing > Rapido Rules > Borrowing Mediation Rules) is set to No, the first request created by self registered users receives is stopped for mediation. As with other mediation rules, labels can be applied to create the relevant set to make your workflows more efficient.
Copyright Information on the Right Pane
August 2023 Rapido URM-174642
To enable library staff to work more efficiently, when the parameter rs_borrower_copyright_management (Configuration > Fulfillment > General > Other Settings) is set to true (default false), copyright information for requests is now available and manageable from the right pane in addition to the Edit pane of a request.
The copyright information can only be edited for requests that have not yet been sent.
Patron Receive Cost on Right Pane
August 2023 Rapido URM-191189
You can now define costs applied to borrowing requests fulfilled using the Fill locally action. Add multiple digital costs using the Add Cost to Patron link on the Borrowing Policies tab (Configuration > Resource Sharing > Configuration > Members).
Automatically Create Hybrid Pods Containing Rapido and Alma
July 2023 Rapido URM-181207
Previously, when configuring hybrid pods, the lender-only partners required separate configurations, partners, and TOU to handle lender-only requests. This flow is now automated so that Rapido members no longer need to create a partner.
When a borrowing request is sent to the lender, we now check the Community Zone to see if the borrowing requester is already part of a Rapido pod. If the borrowing requester is not currently part of a Rapido pod, the borrowing requester is automatically added to the Resource Sharing Partner List so that the lender can receive the request and the Rapido Lending Policy terms are applied to the request.
Self Registration for Net Lenders
July 2023 Rapido URM-191074
For organizations or institutions that do not have a resource sharing solution and you still want to be able to lend to those organizations/institutions, such as government agencies, museums, non-profits, and independent researchers, you can now lend resources to those patrons by creating a user account for those patrons to create resource sharing requests.
When configured, the Not a member yet? Register here link appears on the login form enabling self registration.
Convert Borrowing Request Type
June 2023 Rapido URM-180252
It is now possible to convert a request type placed by a user by using the Convert Request Type action from the available actions for the request. This action is available for the following statuses:
- Request created
- Ready to send
- Locate failed
- Rejected
- Resubmit
- Expired
- Recalled
- Pending approval
- Reject
- Bad citation
- Local holding
Once this action is selected, you can select the type of request to convert to and add the required information (such as pages or chapter numbers when converting to a book chapter).
The option to convert to Journal is only available if the customer parameter rapido_show_physical_journal_offer (Configuration > Resource Sharing > General > Other Settings) is enabled.
Once converted, the Request type change is logged in the History and the lending request partner is recalculated.
Borrowing Task List — Print Slip in Bulk
June 2023 Rapido SF: 06664338 URM-176892
The Print Slip bulk action enables the library staff to reprint received or returned slips in bulk. When multiple borrowing requests are selected, selecting Print Slip reprints all the slips.
Resources Digitization Form for Type: Dissertation
June 2023 Rapido URM-180564
You can now request a section from a digital dissertation rather than requesting the complete resource. When the resource type is Dissertation, the Request Digital Version form includes the From Page and To Page fields.
Physical Journal Title Requests
June 2023 Rapido URM-180542 URM-190089
Rapido now includes the ability to request a physical journal copy in addition to a digital journal article. When the display logic rules (Configuration > Fulfillment > Display Logic Rules) are set to show the journal tile, and the parameter rapido_show_physical_journal_offer (Configuration > Resource Sharing > General > Other Settings) is set to true (default false), both the Get a physical copy tile and the Get an article from this journal tile appear when requesting a journal (previously, only the digital tile for the article was displayed).
If a lender does not enable the rapido_show_physical_journal_offer parameter, borrowing requests will not be sent to that lender. For lenders who do want to lend journals, after enabling the rapido_show_physical_journal_offer parameter, they also need to add journals to their list of participating items.
If the Display Logic Rule is set to hide the journal (physical) tile, both the journal and article tiles are hidden, and the Resource sharing is only allowed under specific terms and conditions message appears instead.
Selecting GET IT on the physical request tile opens the Request Physical Version form which includes the Volume, Issue, and Publication Date fields.
The request must include either the Volume, Issue, or Publication Date.
Borrowing Side — Automatic Lost Fees
June 2023 Rapido SF: 06599423 06670024 URM-169658
This feature enables the borrowing library to charge patrons a fee for losing an item, even if the lending library does not charge a fee. This fee can be removed if the item is returned or marked found.
When the parameter rs_use_tou_for_lost_item (Configuration > Resource Sharing > General > Other Settings) is set to true (default false), a Lost Item Fine is automatically added to the patron's account in addition to the Lost Item Replacement Fee when an item is marked as lost or when the number of lost profile days have passed, based on the borrowing library's settings in the library loan Terms of Use (TOU) (Configuration > Fulfillment > Physical Fulfillment > Terms of Use and Policies).
Additionally, the Lost Item Bill letter is emailed to the patron notifying them of the fees they owe.
If the patron finds the lost item, when the borrower either selects Found Item is selected from the Patron Services or selects Checked in from the task list, the following messages appear indicating that the replacement fee will be refunded; however, if a lost item process fee is configured, then the active balance for the Lost item process fee remains.
GTI/CDI Updated When Updated by Institution
June 2023 Rapido URM-185405
If any changes are made to a record (the quality score or the owning institution), the changes are now reflected in the CDI record.
Borrowing Request Alerts
May 2023 Rapido SF: 06432214 URM-185284
Rapido now includes the option to manage borrowing alerts. To better manage alerts, the Configuration > Resource Sharing > Configuration > Manage Rapido Alerts setting is now presented in two separate settings, Manage Borrowing Alerts and Manage Lending Alerts.
Previously, if a patron cancelled a request after the resource was shipped from the lender, the borrowing library did not receive an indication that the patron cancelled the request. Now, when CANCELLED_BY_PATRON (Configuration > Resource Sharing > Configuration > Manage Borrowing Alerts) is enabled (default), the borrowing library receives an alert if a patron cancels a request that has already been shipped by the lender.
Unused Labels Automatically Removed from Task Lists
May 2023 Fulfillment - Resource Sharing SF: 06534721 06567866 06573581 Idea Exchange URM-176590
In order to clear unnecessary labels and make it easier to manage labels, labels that are not associated with a request, rule, or set are automatically deleted and are no longer available in the labels list.
Mediate Based on ISBN/ISSN
April 2023 Rapido URM-181457 URM-176453 URM-185417
You can now upload a spreadsheet that contains a list of ISBNs/ISSNs that the institution would like to mediate in order to determine whether to allow borrowing resource sharing for the resources included in the file. This is done from the Input Parameters (Configuration > Resource Sharing > Rapido Rules > Borrowing Mediation Rules), select Add Parameter > Excel with ISBN/ISSN. Select the folder icon to upload an Excel file.
The Excel file can only contain one column.
Refine Offer for Serial Resources
April 2023 Rapido URM-186418
We have enhanced the ability to locate serial holdings whether the resource is owned/available at the lending institution. At the point of discovery, the patron adds the Volume to a request, the REFINE OFFER button becomes enabled. The REFINE OFFER button is disabled by default. Selecting REFINE OFFER updates the offer terms and patron cost (when relevant).
Ship Digitally Directly from Download Electronic Resource Screen
March 2023 Rapido URM-174881 URM-176453 URM-176027
Rapido now enables you to ship a digital request directly from the Download Electronic Resource screen. After downloading a digital request (Lending Request > Download Electronic Resource action), you can now use the Ship item digitally action to upload the electronic resource directly from the Download Electronic Resource screen. Additionally, more metadata is now available on this screen.
Cancel Request Option for Mediation Rules
March 2023 Rapido URM-181457 URM-176453 URM-175062
The borrowing mediation rules (Configuration > Resource Sharing > Rapido Rules > Borrowing Mediation Rules) now includes a Cancel Request action which automatically cancels requests when the mediation rule applies to a request. For example, if a specified user group is not authorized to borrow a specific resource type or if a specific resource type is not available for lending.
When the Cancel Request rule applies to a request, the request status updates to Cancelled by staff, and the borrower receives the Request Cancel Letter with the Cancellation reason and Cancellation note specified in the rule.
Exclude Non-Workdays Days from Expiry Period
February 2023 Rapido URM-171705
The Expiry Time (days) can either be defined on a partner or on a pod lending policy. A job runs that deletes unhandled expired requests. To prevent lending requests from expiring during non-workdays, Rapido now enables you to set days to exclude from the expiry period calculation (Configuration > Resource Sharing > Configuration > Resource Sharing Working Days).
Rapido Slips Pod Information
February 2023 Rapido URM-176794
The Pod Name and Pod ID can now be included on the Resource Sharing Shipping Slip Letter and Resource Sharing Return Slip Letter labels (Configuration > General > Letters > Letters Configuration). By default, these labels were not included on the letter Template.
Create an ALA Form and Send it to Partner
February 2023 Rapido URM-166100
In cases where a resource was not found within an institution's resource sharing network, Rapido now offers the option to auto-generate the ALA form and adds it as an attachment to the letter. This reduces the manual work involved in creating ALA forms as part of a last resort mechanism to find partners to fill a borrowing request
When a borrowing request is sent to a resource sharing partner configured with an ALA Email Profile Type (Fulfillment > Partners > General Information tab), the resource sharing partner receives the letter with the ALA form attachment.
The ALA form fields are populated according to the request metadata.
For physical requests, the Request for: Loan checkbox is checked, and the title and author are added to the text box.
For digital requests, the Request for: Copy checkbox is checked, and the title, article/chapter, author (if there is one) are added to the text box.
For resources that are more than five years old, the Other provisions of copyright law (CCL) checkbox is checked. Otherwise, the 108 (g) (2) Guidelines (CCG) checkbox is checked.
The font disharmony for the Volume, Issue, and Pages fields on the generated ALA form is a known issue.
Global Title Index (GTI) Updates
January 2023 Rapido URM-181457 URM-176453 URM-176027

Downloading Partner Information
January 2023 Rapido URM-170334
This letter is sent when using the Send Rapido Request Letter option on the Resource Sharing Borrowing Request page Rota tab.
For more information, see Find Partners.
Automating Lending Requests
January 2023 Rapido URM-171872
Rapido now supports batch automatic delivery of digital lending requests from a configured folder. This functionality uses the Automatically Ship Rapido Digital Requests (default Inactive) (Configuration > Resource Sharing > General > Rapido Jobs Configuration) job to scan a configured folder to then attach files to the right request. The attached files are then automatically sent to fill the borrowing request. Configuring this job enables staff to skip manually attaching files to individual lending requests. To enable automatic processing for lending requests with scanned resources saved in a folder, use the Automatically Ship Rapido Digital Requests job.
The Automatically Ship Rapido Digital Requests job relies on the file names being saved as the appropriate internal identifier.
Select Add Row and select the S/FTP Connection Type (as configured in Configuration > General > External Systems > S/FTP definitions) and Rapido Member. The job can be scheduled hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly, or you can Run Now.
The Digitization Workflow Setup (Configuration > Fulfillment > Copyright Management > Digitization and Copyright Rules) determines what kind of output the borrowing institution receives, based on what output type (link or attachment) is selected in the Select digitization target drop down list. When the job is run, a folder AutoShipFileTmp is created in the institution's root directory folder, and the files are delivered to this folder.
When the file is available, the patron receives the Notification Item Letter with links to the file.
The out-of-the-box Notification Item Letter automatically includes the link. If a user has configured the letter, the user needs to configure these links for them to be included.
Select Add Row and select the S/FTP Connection Type (as configured in Configuration > General > External Systems > S/FTP definitions) and Rapido Member. The job can be scheduled hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly, or you can Run Now.
The request then updates the request Status to Shipped Digitally. If there is a problem that causes the file delivery to fail, the job will try to send the file the next time the job is run. The job report for the Automatically Ship Rapido Digital Requests job is available in the History tab (Admin > Manage Jobs and Sets > Monitor Jobs).
For more information, see Configuring Rapido Jobs and Automating Digital Requests.

Requests involving hybrid pods use the pod policy rather than the Terms of Use (TOU). You can now configure exceptions for requests received from specific members to apply the TOU rather than the pod policy. Members who are part of a hybrid pod can add an exception to the Override Pod Policies for Specific Hybrid Pod Partners section on the Physical Items Lending Policies tab (Configuration > Resource Sharing > Configuration > Members). Hybrid pods can set the lending terms for requests to use:
- Terms of use only
- Pod policy first then Terms of use
- Terms of use first the Pod policy
If no exception is added, the behavior remains where the pod policy is applied to the request.
For more information, see Hybrid Pods. - November 2023 Analytics URM-199524
