Lending Electronic Resources

Libraries subscribe to thousands of articles available online through OneSearch and the library databases. Rapido users can share PDFs of these articles and eBook chapters through Lending without needing to print any pull slips. To process these requests, go to the Article/Book Chapter Downloading Set in the Lending side of Rapido. All the requests in this Set will be items in the Being Processed or Created Lending Request status, the requested format is Digital, and the inventory type is Electronic. Because these items are held electronically, they can be downloaded and delivered. 

To process requests in this Set, click the ellipsis (...) and select Download Electronic Resource. The resulting page that will open will have a link to the resource which should open in a new browser tab. Search for the article or book chapter and download it. Return to the previous page and click Browse to search your folders for the article or book chapter, or drop the file in the space beneath the Ship Item Digitally header. Click Send to send the file to the Borrowing library through RapidILL.
