[ILL-L] Re: LVIS borrowing

[Sarah Lee]

I have set my custom holdings path to go in this order:

Alabama Public Library Service
Libraries in my city (academic since we are the only public in the city)
Public libraries in- state
Academic libraries in- state
Public libraries in regional consortia
Academic libraries in reg. consortia (getting to be fewer and fewer)
LVIS
then we go to OCLC at large

This guarantees we don't request something from across the country that
someone close by has.  It took a bit of setting up, but worth it.  It burns
me up to get those goofy requests.  If we ask to borrow from across the
country you can be sure we could not find it within our region.
