  1. Automatic Request Deflection Based on Local Holdings Records(LHR s)

  2. What is it? • Deflection on individual items, based on information in the Local Holdings Record (Field 008 bytes 20 & 21) • Lending libraries do not see requests for loans or photocopies of materials they have specified they will not loan or photocopy.

  3. How does it work? • Libraries can edit their Local Holdings Records to specify their lending and reproduction policies. WRS uses the information for automatic deflection. • Requests containing article data are regarded by the system as copy requests. • All other requests are regarded by the system as loan requests • If the system determines the request cannot be filled due to the settings in the LHR, the request will automatically move to the next lender in the string. • The borrower’s Reason for No report will read “Auto-Deflection: request type”.

  4. What happens if I (and the catalogers at my institution) don’t do anything? No deflection occurs unless the default of “undefined” is changed in Field 008 bytes 20 & 21.

  5. Field 008 bytes 20 & 21 • Lending: a=will, b=won’t, u=undefined • Reproducing: a=will, b=won't, u=undefined

  6. What’s next? • A link from within WorldCat Resource Sharing and ILLiad to the local holdings record. • Policies Directory Deflection, Summer 2006: • Lenders can set up deflection in their ILL Policies based on categories like maxcost, type of material, or affiliation. • Exceptions to rules set in the Policies Directory can be defined at the item-level based on Local Holdings Data Deflection. • More information is expected in May or June.
