New Software Features & Known Bugs submitted to Auto-Graphics

  • Feature: The OpenILL feature has now been added to Illume (SHAREit)! Patrons can now submit pre-populated ILL requests directly from external third-party vendors (eg. EBSCO) or library web forms. This new feature can help students quickly and easily submit Non-returnable (Copy) requests from discovery layers such as EDS and database resources. Group training available in the spring or contact Illume Support to set-up this feature. For more Enhancements and Improvements please check-out our list of major software changes approved from 2017 onwards here: https://illumebc.ca/news/software-enhancements
