3.3. Reports Generated
The design of the system provides for generation of different types of reports:
By user
1. List of photocopy requests made, giving their status. The user can view this
list.
2. Intimation to the user of receipt of the material.
By Library
1. Email & printed requests sent to a particular library. Automatic intimation
to user for his request processed.
2. Reminder generation for unfulfilled requests.
3. Printing of hardcopy ILL requests, if required.
4. List of requests received during a given period & yet to be processed.
5. List of requests processed, arranged by library, for which documents are
awaited.
6. On receipt of document, automatic acknowledgement to resource library &
collect notice to the user.

major findings are reported here. That includes statistics regarding the requests
received under this system over a period of time, the quantum of successful
responses, the sources from which the ILL service was organized by (CAT)
