Koha Interlibrary Loans Koha backend

This backend provides the ability to create Interlibrary Loan requests by searching other Koha instances.

Getting Started

The version of the backend you require depends on the version of Koha you are using:

• 17.11 - Use the 17.11 branch if you are using this version of Koha
• 18.05 - Use the 18.05 branch if you are using this version of Koha
• master - Use this master branch for 18.11 and upwards

Installing

• Create a directory in Koha called Illbackends, so you will end up with Koha/Illbackends
• Clone the repository into this directory, so you will end up with Koha/Illbackends/koha-ill-koha
• In the koha-ill-koha directory switch to the branch you wish to use
• Rename the koha-ill-koha directory to Koha
• Activate ILL by enabling the ILLModule system preference
