Figure 24: How to enter or request a new document: Additional data to fill in if you send the request to the library.

If you can, insert the ISSN of the publication and the ISBN of the book. In addition to manual compilation, it is possible to import the data of a bibliographic reference from any bibliographic database that supports the OpenURL standard or from the Pubmed database if the PMID is known.

The SID (Service Identifier) is the unique identifier of the database from which the bibliographic reference was imported (via OpenURL).

The PMID (PubMed unique identifier) is the unique identifier of a document indexed by the Pubmed database. If you enter the PMID code and click on Pubmed, the essential data of the reference. [for both cases, see NILDE integration via OpenURL with databases and main bibliographic resources on the web and Pubmed and NILDE integration].

Once the reference has been entered, both forms (Article or Part of a Book) present a space dedicated to Additional Data in the final part, in which it is possible to enter any personal notes that are used exclusively by the user, even if you intend to forward a DD request to your library. Enter any Notes for the library also about cost.

There is the possibility to communicate to your library the intention to pay for any additional costs needed to find the material outside the NILDE network.

There are 3 options:
1. I'D LIKE TO KNOW the amount BEFORE deciding
2. I DON'T ACCEPT additional costs
3. I ACCEPT any additional costs

If the library has to pay a fee for the document requested, you receive an email with the amount of the additional cost, so you can decide to accept or reject the conditions.

Only the bibliographic data and the Notes to the library are transmitted in case of request. To save the reference in your bibliography, simply click on Save.

Attention: if you click on Save, the request will not be sent, but you can request the document later.

If, on the other hand, you wish to forward the request to your library, click on Request.
In both cases, the reference can be viewed in the Reference Manager.

To request a saved reference, click on the reference to view it in detail and, in the lower left part, click on Request.
