Optimizing digital requesting rota

Last modified by Alex Fletcher on 2025-09-04, 11:04

By default, Alma will ignore coverage information when sending digital requests to resource sharing partners. This can lead to a large number of "false" requests having to be handled by lending libraries. Fortunately, there is a parameter that will limit these false positive requests by checking against coverage information. This does not affect physical requests at all.
