Circulation.

On the Current Oubound ILL page, it is now possible to restrict the view to those items that have been out 30 days or more, or 60 days or more.
In Library Transactions, when the Send Notification button is active, the overdue message is displayed. The user now has the ability change, replace, or append information to the message.

Outgoing ILL requests that have not been approved can now be cancelled by the requesting library.
