When the Patron Request forms for ILL aren't automatically filled with the patron's information, this can be caused by an incorrect configuration of the resource sharing button. To fix this:

  1. Go to the Service Configuration and navigate to WorldCat Discovery and WorldCat Local, and then to Place Hold/Request Buttons
  2. Open the options under the Resource Sharing (Any Level) tab
  3. Behind Type of button configuration:, change WCRS/WS ILL to OpenURL 1.0
  4. For Choose an OpenURL Resolver from the OpenURL Resolvers you have already registered with OCLC:, select the correct OpenURL resolver
  5. Click Save
