Don't query the BorrowDirect API for patrons that aren't eligible to request material from them #326

Open cbeer opened 5 years ago

cbeer commented 5 years ago

We're currently excluding proxy borrowers, but should we exclude e.g. fee borrowers as well?

saseestone commented 5 years ago

Yes, we should exclude Fee Borrowers. They are not eligible for BorrowDirect requests. (You have to have a SUNet ID and be in the stanford:stanford or stanford:acad priv group.)

Can you check out a borrowdirect request on behalf of a research group? Or, more specifically, should a proxy be able to see other proxies borrow direct requests on behalf of the group (if such a thing is even possible?)

saseestone commented 5 years ago

Yes, you can checkout a borrowdirect item as a proxy. (You can't request it via SearchWorks because SUNet ID is required, but we do have users that request using their SUNet ID and then when they come to the library and checkout the item - the use their proxy account for the checkout)

Yes, a group should be able to see borrowdirect items checked out to related proxies.

PROXY22 currently has a borrowdirect checkout.

Ok -- but you can't request a borrowdirect item as a proxy?

saseestone commented 5 years ago

You have to webauth to complete the request...so no.

So the scenario is a grad student - doing work on behalf of their faculty PO on a grant. They are webauthed individually, and can create the request in SW. REQ uses the BD API and then the request is in BD land (Relais). So grad student will see the BD request on their individual "Requests" tab in MyLibrary. Item arrives at Stanford and is processed (item is created in Symphony; Hold is placed in Symphony), so item appears on their "Ready for pickup" list and they get a pickup notice generated from Symphony. Grad student shows up at the pickup library and asks the staff to charge the item to their proxy account. Circulation staff checkout the item to their proxy account (using an override to override the hold block) and the item will appear on the Proxy checkout list. (And be completely gone from the grad students individual account...)
