[ILL-L] fun ILL blog entry

[Denise L Montgomery]

What I would like to know is, how much did he also did through GIL 
Express as well? Most of these characters, at least from my experience 
here, are usually heavy users of that system for the mainstream stuff.

                       Denise Montgomery
                       Valdosta State University Library
who, in the last twelve months, has turned out to be the heaviest user 
of our ILL system with 168 requests...and more requests than that via 
GIL Express! But I have the excuse of working on a book.

this summer, currently hovering around 600 for the year.  (It would be 
higher, but we cut him off for a while to keep from going too far over 
our IFM and copyright budgets.)  His requests included medical articles 
and books in French, German, Italian, Portugese, Russian, Hebrew, 
Serbian, Spanish, Dutch and English.  Before you ask--he reads or at 
least can muddle through ALL of those languages except Hebrew.
