[ILL-L] Does anybody do this?

[Document Delivery]

We set up one ILL book record in Voyager, and just add item records
using the ILL number as the bar code,Ed.

We are also interested in finding a way to link our patrons ILL  books
with their circulation records... We use Voyager--any suggestions?

We also check out ILL materials using our local system, and because we
do not use an ILL management system, it's really the only way we can
handle things.

We have a pretty savvy system administrator running our ILS, Sirsi
Unicorn. He has written scripts which automatically create brief title
records and attach holds to them for the patron using information taken
from the OCLC request. System-supplied item IDs are used to generate
barcodes which we print on labels along with title, patron name, routing
branch, and due date. The labels go on our bookstraps.

It all works pretty smoothly.

I am a first time poster:

I was asked by my supervisor whether anyone else is checking out ILL
books using their local system so the item appears on the patrons
record.  That way the patron doesn't have to go to two places to check
what items they may have out, which we feel would be more helpful to our
patrons, and we would probably prefer.  Has anyone tried this and/or
have been successful with it? What kinds of issues are involved?  We are
using Millennium circ.  and my ILL software, CLIO, can generate its own
barcodes of the ILL no. (....or have you found it best to just direct
the patrons to check their ILLIAD account?  Has their been problems
explaining to patrons to go to two different places?)

Thanks very much in advance for any input you can provide.
