TerminologyTerminology

• Workflow – consists of a sequence of connected steps. It is a depiction of a sequence of operations; a model to represent real work for further assessment, e.g., for describing a reliably repeatable sequence of operations.

• Lender / lending library – the library supplying the item; you are the lending library when you supply something to another library.

• Borrower / borrowing library – the library requesting the item; you are the borrowing library when you request something from another library.

• NRE (Navigator Request Engine) – the “guts” of Navigator, much of the work done in NRE is reflected in Navigator, the interface for request management.

Policy ChangesPolicy Changes

NRENRE

NRE is the staff request management interface.

It is used for both the borrowing and the lending functions.

You will be given an account in NRE to access your requests.

Library Staff only have access to the requests made by their patrons or that have been sent to them as a lender.
