Most requests in Rapido are sent directly to the Lending library without a manual Borrowing step. Even though a piece of Borrowing is now automated there are still many workflows Resource Sharing Borrowing staff must do to ensure our patrons get the items they need in a timely manner.

• Borrowing Physical Items
• Borrowing Digital Items
