  1. Improve "Number of requests for same resource" mediation rule

    Rapido mediation rules currently provide institutions a parameter that allows them to mediate the number of requests for the same resource within a given time period. Two comma-separated values are required: the number of requests and the number of months.

    The problem with this is that there is no "greater than" functionality for the first parameter. Setting the first value to 2, for example, will cause only the second request for the same item to trigger the rule. Requests 3, 4, 5, and so on will not be mediated.

    Ex Libris believes this parameter to have an "acquisitions" purpose. There's…

  2. Mediate requests based on presence of certain fields

    We would like to be able to mediate requests based on the presence or absence of certain fields, such as the page numbers. For instance:

    For physical requests which include the number of pages in the book due to either an error in the patron understanding the blank form or a database importing information wrong, anything that gets sent directly to a RapidILL partner gets interpreted by the system as a copy request. The lending library will either send back a bad citation or pass it on without filling it, delaying the request and wasting potentially multiple lenders' time. We'd…

  3. OCR all incoming files in Rapido

    All libraries are committed to the accessibility of resources for their patrons; however, not all libraries have the infrastructure to do OCR or they can only do OCR for a very limited number of languages. With Rapido sitting on the Ex Libris Higher Ed platform, there seems to be a great opportunity to ensure all incoming and outgoing documents are OCRd for resource sharing using the same service leveraged for Alma Digital. This would allow Rapido libraries to ensure everything they send meets minimum OCR requirements, but it would also solve the problem for our patrons to ensure all incoming…

  4. Add Lending Mediation Rules

    It would be extremely helpful to have Lending Mediation Rules similar to the Borrowing Mediation Rules. Even if the rules only added labels to use with Sets would be a huge improvement.

    Thank you,

  5. Make presence or absence of Blank ILL form configurable

    Currently, the Blank ILL form can only be toggled on or off. Please make the presence or absence of the Blank ILL form configurable. This requires two things. 1) Incorporate Blank ILL form into Display Logic Rules. For example, libraries would like to be able to hide this form from certain user groups. 2) Much like the Rapido tiles, allow us to show or hide the physical or digital aspects of the Blank ILL form. For example, during campus closures, we would like to be able to suspend all physical requesting via the Blank ILL form, but continue to allow…
