                   |                            |loan requests are common
                   |                            |especially in academic or
                   |                            |special libraries where the
                   |                            |enduser or librarian may be
                   |                            |entitled to request a book
                   |                            |or article from an external
                   |                            |library such as the British
                   |                            |Library (BLDSS) using their
                   |                            |interlibrary loan service.

                   |                            |This patch set comes with
                   |                            |3 configured backends -
                   |                            |BLDSS, Freeform and a Dummy
                   |                            |account which is the
                   |                            |default for testing.  The
                   |                            |BLDSS backend allows users
                   |                            |to search stock held by the
                   |                            |British Library using their
                   |                            |api, and allows requests to
                   |                            |be placed against it. The
                   |                            |Freeform backend allows the
                   |                            |creation of Interlibrary
                   |                            |loan requests using a
                   |                            |manual form.
                   |                            |
                   |                            |Interlibrary loan requests
                   |                            |can be made from the OPAC
                   |                            |or from the staff client.
                   |                            |The enduser can query the
                   |                            |backend database and place
                   |                            |requests. Alternatively
                   |                            |they can create requests
                   |                            |using the manual form.
                   |                            |From
                   |                            |the OPAC interface endusers
                   |                            |can view and comment on
                   |                            |their requests if enabled.
                   |                            |In the staff client
                   |                            |librarians can manage
                   |                            |requests placed on the
                   |                            |OPAC, processing them
                   |                            |against a backend (e.g.
                   |                            |British Library).
                   |                            |Alternatively the system
                   |                            |allows requests to be
                   |                            |placed with peer libraries.
                   |                            |Peer libraries can be
                   |                            |identified by an
                   |                            |Organizational patron
                   |                            |category type and requests
                   |                            |can be sent to the peer
                   |                            |library by email.
                   |                            |Core
