INN-Reach and Pika basics

Pika has integration with the Sierra ‘INN-Reach’ product, which is an ILL service that allows users to request items from libraries outside their library system that participate in a lending agreement. Enabling the INN-Reach options in Pika must coincide with an agreement with the outside lending service that uses an INN-Reach catalog of materials. There are several options associated with the INN-Reach functionality that will prompt different displays of INN-Reach titles in Pika.

Open the menu for III INN-Reach & Encore.

Depending on the name of the INN-Reach service your library uses, you will see the name of that service in the menu title and the menu options rather than INN-Reach e.g. Prospector (III INN-Reach & Encore). 

The Enable INN-Reach Integration option must be enabled to utilize the additional INN-Reach options in Pika.

If the Enable INN-Reach Integration option is enabled, the logo for the corresponding INN-Reach system and a button linked to the corresponding INN-reach Encore catalog will always display at the end of search results.

Show INN-Reach Results at the End of Search Option

When this option is enabled the user will see INN-Reach results that meet their search criteria at the bottom of the search results page. When a user clicks on the INN-Reach search result, they will be directed out to the corresponding record in the respective INN-Reach catalog. There is also a button to see full search results in the respective INN-Reach catalog.

The logo and the name of the INN-reach catalog will reflect the local library’s INN-Reach service at the end of the search results display.

INN-Reach display in Full Record View for Grouped Works and Individual Bibs

If the Enable INN-Reach option is enabled, the full record view for grouped works and individual bib records will display the More Copies in INN-Reach section. If the title is included in the INN-Reach catalog, users will see links to the corresponding title in the respective INN-Reach catalog. 

The More Copies in INN-Reach option can be disabled in the library system settings for Full Record Display if desired, but will default to being enabled. The option in the Full Record Display section will borrow the display name for the corresponding INN-Reach system.
