  1. Dynamic Resource Allocation

    The core content of this improvement involves an algorithm that monitors the "live state" of participating libraries. Currently, RapidILL excels at finding the fastest lender based on historical data. However, by integrating a system that functions like a high-speed run through a digital obstacle course, the software could pivot instantly when a preferred lender is overwhelmed. This "sprint" logic would allow the system to bypass bottlenecks by detecting sudden spikes in local processing times. https://run1.onl

    By treating the lending queue as a fluid environment, RapidILL can ensure that no single institution becomes a "dead end." This would reduce the overall…

  2. Rapidill discrepancy between the date in Alma and on Rapidill web input.

    We are getting requests come through Alma that are lacking information compared to their web version counterparts. In both of these cases in the Alma version we have only got the year of the article which is why we have marked them as a ‘bad citation’ and referred them back to the requester. However, when looking at the Web instance a few minutes later which is not enough time for the request to have been updated, we can see the date information in full. Granted it is in the ‘year’ section however, the concatenation could be causing problems with other…

  3. Get Notified When a Borrowing Request Is Created

    In Alma, staff currently need to manually check the task list to see new borrowing requests. While the RapidILL web version allows email alerts, these are only sent once a request is fulfilled, not when it's created. We’re requesting a simple notification email at the time a borrowing request is submitted. This would help staff respond faster, because sometimes submitted requests have issues that need quick attention. Early notification would allow us to review and resolve problems sooner, improving turnaround and user satisfaction.
