in the “Admin Module”Log on to ILL, go to the Request
Manager screen, and click on this button
Two approaches to updateDepending on how original group
was created and how many symbols it contains, you may either need to “update” the original group or completely “re-create” it
Basic steps to update“Go” to groupType in or copy/paste symbols to
be added to groupClick “Add” (or “Remove”)Use Policies link as needed to
check current policies if in doubtClick “Save Changes”
Groups that are harder to updateExample: AV lenders in Amigos
regionNo quick and easy way to update
using PDLloyd’s list/ShareILLProbably easier to recreate than
update
