2. TUT LIS IT & SYTEMS MILLENNIUM ILL TRAINING TUT LIS decided to use Millennium ILL for the purposes of circulating ILL items that have been received from the Lending Library instead of circulating such items manually because there is no Interface between Request and Millennium.

Though using Millennium ILL meant that ILL staff have to redo the process they did on Request, TUT ILL staff have been cooperative. Because the item has already been requested and received on Request, some fields are omitted when we create the new
