Main Features

NERS: Communication with Partners

August 2024 Rapido URM-205199

NERS Enhancement (ID #8558)

It is now possible to email a partner directly from the borrowing and lending task list requests. This option eases workflows, such as when a lender wants to convey limitations, a borrowing library wants to ask a question, or for any type of messages such as a thank you note. These messages are saved in the request for future reference.

Correspondence can be initiated using the Send email to partner action or from the Start Communication button on the Communications tab.

Send email to partner

Start Communication

Selecting the Send email to partner action or the Start Communication button opens the Send email to partner form.

The From address is not editable. It is derived from the resource sharing library's preferred email shipping address, or from the owning library's preferred email address if the resource sharing library's preferred email shipping address is not configured.

The To email address is editable. Acceptable email addresses are the partner's preferred email shipping address or from the Rapid contact record email. For lending requests, the email address is derived from the contact email address on the resource sharing request.

Send email to partner form

After selecting Send Email, the partner receives the Resource Sharing Conversation Letter and a Communications notification is added to request indicating that this request contains correspondence with the partner.

Communications indicator

The correspondence log is accessible from the Communications tab.

Communications tab

You can:

Edit a correspondence to view the full correspondence.
Reply to a communication to send another correspondence. Each reply increases the counter in the Communications Answers column.
Add a Response to paste the partner's response to your correspondence.
Close the correspondence. Note: Closing the correspondence removes the Communications indicator from the request; but the correspondence remains accessible from the Communications tab under the All or Closed filters.

Correspondence actions

Conditional Terms of Use for Digital Requests

February 2024 Fulfillment and Resource Sharing URM-205914

Lenders filling digital requests can now indicate whether the supplied document has terms of use. If shipping terms of use are applied, the request requires manual handling by the borrowing staff. Terms of use can indicate requirements such as supplying the document as a physical non-returnable printout for copyright compliance. This new option enhances copyright control by enabling the lender to specify to the borrower that the document cannot be shared with the patron. As a lender, you can enable the relevant terms from Configuration > Fulfillment > Resource Sharing > Shipping Terms of Use. By default, only the NONE term is enabled.

Resource Sharing Off Time Updates

January 2024 Fulfillment and Resource Sharing URM-131586

Previously, Rapido users needed to update both Alma and RapidILL when setting their library off times.

The start date must be less than one year in the future.

When checked, library staff can configure a Maximum Request Cost to apply to borrowing requests. This field enables the lender to apply fees up to the maximum cost that the borrowing partner accepts without additional approval. If no value is added to the maximum request cost field, no limit is applied to the requests.

Currently, there are situations in which duplicate partners exist for the same library.

When a duplicate partner exists, the duplicate partner can be merged into the correct partner and all requests associated with the duplicate partner are transferred to the correct partner.

Additionally, the Resource Sharing Partner List now includes a Rapido Partner column to indicate if a partner is a Rapido partner in addition to an ISO partner.
