Koha ILL Incdocs Lending Tool backend

This backend provides the ability to create Interlibrary Loan requests using the LibKey Lending Tool API service.

This plugin is designed to only work with AutoILLBackendPriority.

System preferences

ILLModuleUnmediated

This backend utilizes the ILLModuleUnmediated system preference. If enabled, requests are placed with IncDocs as soon as they're created and are set to "Requested" status. Otherwise, requests are created with the "New" status and manual confirmation to place the request with IncDocs is required. This is only true for Staff created requests. Requests created from the OPAC always require mediation.

IllLog

This backend utilizes the IllLog system preference. If enabled, IncDocs transactions are stored in the ILL request log for review.

Requirements

Only compatible with Koha 25.05+
