Is it possible to send ILL requests to libraries that only use a particular courier?

Answer

Our system does not currently have the functionality to govern what courier service is used, or to build a lender string based on preferred courier. We recommend adding a borrowing note to your constant data that indicates which courier you prefer or if you will not use a particular courier, but there's no guarantee that this will prevent your requests from going to libraries that use or do not use the courier specified. We also recommend keeping your loan policies in the OCLC Policies Directory up to date, as this is where libraries go to reference your preferred delivery methods.
