[ILL-L] IFM?

[Megan Bayonet]

IFM fees come out of a deposit account that your institution sets up.  Most
institutions, I think, keep money in that deposit account and use it to pay
fees associated with cataloging, classes, etc.

http://www.oclc.org/resourcesharing/features/feemanagement/default.htm is
the OCLC page on this.  I know that someone will correct me if I'm wrong
BUT-

if I am interpreting this correctly-on the monthly invoice from OCLC that
your library gets,  IFM fees for loans would be credited to your library
while IFM fees for loans would be debited. So-again a supposition on my
part-if you charge for loans but don't use IFM for any borrowing,  the fees
would reduce the total amount of your monthly bill.

Hi everyone,

I'm curious if anyone can explain to me or point me to a good resource

on how IFM works.  I know that it seems deductions and additions are

automatic, but I don't understand how money gets in there to begin

with to pay for transactions.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
