https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=30719 Bug ID: 30719 Summary: ILL should provide the ability to create batch requests Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: master Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: ILL Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: andrew.isherwood@ptfs-europe.com Some interlibrary loan providers, for example Reprints Desk, allow for ILL requests to be submitted in batches. In the Reprints Desk case, a batch is created with the supplier, then requests are then submitted including the batch ID. Obviously, this workflow may differ according to supplier and these differences should be abstracted away into the supplier backend. For core Koha, we should provide the ability for it to recognise if a given backend can process batch requests. If so, we should provide an interface for creating and manipulating batches within Koha, then submitting a batch to the supplier. It should also be possible to view all batches and the contents of a given batch. The funding institution has defined the following workflow for creating and populating batches: - A encapsulating "batch" is created with a name and a requesting borrower - Requests are added to a batch via two methods: - In bulk: - A form which allows the user to paste in a collection of identifiers, such as DOI / PMID etc. - For each of these identifiers: - The request metadata should be populated via API queries to metadata suppliers, for example, PubMed API or LibKey/Browzine. This behaviour is governed by the presence of appropriate plugins. - (Optional) Once the metadata is populated for an item, we check for item availability via any installed ILL availability plugins - Individually: - A regular ILL request form, requests are added to the batch -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
