Patron ILL requests are managed in the User services > Interlibrary loan requests menu. This page lists the requests received with a pick-up location corresponding to the librarian's current library. It is possible to create a request for a patron from this view, and the patron can create them himself from the public interface.

Requests are managed manually using the Status and Loan Status fields, as explained below.
