How can staff see ILL requests?

Alma Staff roles needed for Resource Sharing


To allow staff to see resource sharing functionality you must scope “Fulfillment Services Manager” or Fulfillment Services Operator” to the library.

Resource sharing is setup under your library. This is usually the same library as the library that supports the circulation desk. Do not use the resource sharing library.




You may already have these roles for the staff person at the institution level. You must have the roles at the library level for staff to view ILL requests.
