Q: How can a UCF patron use the ILL request function from the community college catalog (LINCC)?
A: For UCF patrons who are issued a partner library card (Cocoa, Palm Bay, and Ocala), they just need to use their joint-use libraries card numbers and corresponding passwords to make a request. For UCF patrons who are NOT issued a new card (like in the case of South Lake), first have their UCF library account info. entered into the partner libraries' Aleph, then use their UCF Library numbers and the last four digits of their SSN as the password to make a request.

Q: Which system should a patron use to renew items, WebLuis or ILLiad?
A: Though ILLiad has a renewal feature too, only the WebLuis system should be used to make renewal. The two systems don't 'talk' to each other, so if a patron makes a renewal from one system, the new due date won't be reflected in another system. And please note it's the due date in the WebLuis system that counts. (Note: Plain language for ILLiad and WebLuis for people like me are: ILLiad -- Interlibrary Loan Account, to which you use your PID to log in; WebLuis -- "My Account/Renew Books") (mt)
