Interlibrary loan

The Interlibrary Loan module is for borrowing books from other libraries on behalf of your users. It is intended to be used for materials for which there is not a recurring demand, not as a replacement for good collection development. Use it to record the request date, request item, date due, shipping method, etc. You can use the report writer to build reports for special requirements.
