How does the shared print registration service work?
The new shared print registration service is a streamlined registration process that allows batch creation of shared print single-part monograph retention commitments in WorldCat. This service uses non-MARC data, in the form of a .CSV file, to create LHRs (via a 583 Action Note).

How does this affect interlibrary loan?
