Terminology:

• Lender / lending library – the library supplying the item; you are the lending library when you supply something to another library.

• Borrower / borrowing library – the library requesting the item; you are the borrowing library when you request something from another library.

• Florida Navigator– the patron interface where patrons submit requests; http://floridanav.worldcat.org/.

• NRE (Navigator Request Engine) – the staff interface for request management.

What is WorldCat Navigator?

WorldCat Navigator provides:

• Interlibrary Loan within the state of Florida and beyond.

• Discovery to delivery tool.

• Manages returnable and nonreturnable items.

• Reduces staff work and time.

WorldCat Navigator:

• In a nutshell, Navigator makes Florida’s libraries LOOK like one big library with many branches.

• Patrons search one catalog for the whole group.

• Patrons request material anywhere within the group.

• Circulation staff fetch material.

• Material is sent to the right library.

• We call this consortial borrowing.

The Navigator Workflow:

Once an item is requested, Navigator chooses which libraries to query based on availability and group defined protocols.

NRE

• NRE is the staff interface for request management.

• It is used for both the borrowing and lending functions.

• Library staff have access only to the requests made by their patrons, or that have been sent to them as a lender.

• Detailed, hands on exercises and training will be provided once your library completes the required implementation steps.

NRE Borrowing/Lending:

WorldCat Navigator provides:

• Interlibrary Loan within the state of Florida and beyond.

• Discovery-to-delivery tool

• Manages returnable and nonreturnable items

• Integrates with internal circulation systems (if your system

is interoperable)

Request Lifecycle Overview:

1. Patron searches for and submits a request through the Florida Navigator, OR, library staff places request on behalf of the patron through NRE.

2. Lending Library SHIPS the request to the borrowing library.

3. Borrowing library RECEIVES the request, and puts it on hold for their patron.

4. Patron brings item back; borrowing library RETURNS item to the lending library.

5. Lending library CHECKS item into NRE, and the request is now fully processed!
