The source code and installation instructions can be found on github here:  Alma_Physical_Addon.

Set up, Installation and Configuration

User/Account Set Up:

You will need to identify or create an ILL user in your Alma instance that will be the requesting patron.  This may be the same or similar to the account used for ILLiad Addon Digitization.  This user must have a Job Category of "ILL Staff", a local user group that is allowed to request items from the SCF.  Make note of the Primary ID as you will need this for Configuration (see below).

Once you have this user created, please forward the Primary ID to WRLC (kilduff@wrlc.org) so that we can make sure a linked account is created in the SCF.  We will also need your return address that will be printed on the slip that will be sent with the item.  This should be the same return address that prints on your ILLiad slip.

Installation:

Download and install the Addon in your ILLiad client. See: Installing the ILLiad Client Addon

Configuration:

Configure these settings in the ILLiad client's 'Manage Addons' form:

      • Institution Code = 01WRLC_GML  (Be sure to use your own code!)
      • UserId = this is the Primary ID of the user from “User/Account Set Up”
      • IlliadClientSecret = (same secret as Digitization Addon, contact WRLC for secret)

(Main ILLiad → Manage Addons → Select “Alma-Physical-Request Addon” )
