MnLINK Discovery- Patron request not available

MnPALS patrons can search MNLINK. The MNLINK URL is https://mnlink.org

MnPALS patrons can't create requests on MNLINK. A MnPALS patron can use a blank Primo request form, or staff can enter a request for the patron. If a patron has a public library card, they can use that card to create requests. The public library will handle the interlibrary loan request for the patron. 

PALS is working with MNLINK to find out how in the future, MnPALS patrons may be able to create requests in MNLINK and have the requests transferred into Alma.
