Alma Resource Sharing Guide

This guide explains the various components of FLVC's current resource sharing processes also known as UBorrow.

UBorrow Lending Request Processing

Lending Workflow (Loans): The basic lending workflow for loans is as follows.  These steps should be taken every day your library's interlibrary department is open.  Please see below for more details.

  1. Check the pick from shelf list at each participating library for new requests
  2. Receive the items at the resource sharing library.
  3. Ship the item to the borrowing institution
  4. Scan in returned items to complete the transaction.  

Turning Off Lending: Lending can be turned off at your library if it will be closed for an extended period.  Please submit a HelpDesk case at help@flvc.org.

Lending Loan Periods: All lenders are obligated to assign lending due dates in accordance with the Resource Sharing Standing Committee with approval from the Member's Council for Library Services.
