Please add restrict request function for fulfillment network requests in Primo VE between institutions.
We are a library consortium facilitating interlibrary loans through a fulfillment network with Network Zone, rather than AFN.
It allows patrons to find items from other institutions directly and request them. Our goal is for patrons of Institution A to use Institution A's Primo VE to request books from Institution B.
If Institution A has the book available for borrowing, requesting the book from Library B will not be possible.
Implementing the above feature in Alma to restrict requests in this manner would not only save shipping costs but also reduce waiting times for patrons.
We previously submitted this requirement, but unfortunately, it was closed. However, we still hope this requirement can continue to receive your attention. (https://ideas.exlibrisgroup.com/forums/308173-alma/suggestions/46889608-please-add-specific-limitations-for-interlibrary-l)
