Editorial interest 82/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A records-request portal for special districts, townships, and library systems, with public intake, configurable deadlines, and an activity history for every action.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-06 issue.

Field notes

Residents submit through an agency-branded page and receive a request number plus a private tracking link without creating an account. Clerks configure business or calendar-day clocks, holidays, cutoff times, pauses, and extensions, while recorded activity entries preserve the reason for changes. The displayed sample includes a five-day extension and a seven-day document-link expiry. Request exports include messages, activity history, document lists, and issued download links, with document files handled separately.
