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.

When viewing a grouped work, the More Copies in INN-Reach section will display all the formats that the respective INN-Reach catalog has for the given title -- this may include electronic materials.
