  The requested object may not be directly available online. It may be a physical object that needs to be digitally reproduced, copied or lent to the scholar; or the scholar may need to get permission from the rights holder before the object can be obtained even if it is available in digital form. These are two additional activities that may need to be defined if not there already.
