[ILL-L] Ten Commandments of ILL

[Campbell, Sharon]

Michael, are you printing your requests?  That alone is three mouse
clicks.  If you're completely paperless, I'd like to know how you manage
your pending requests and what you do with the paperwork of libraries
who request their's be returned with the book.  Managing paperwork is a
hugh eater of time.  I guess I'd like to hear from paperless operations
- what works, what doesn't.

Michael,
   I think you need to give me a speed lesson.  No way I'd get 124
requests
done in 4 hours.   Wow
Patti 




	Julia:
	Exactly. I had 124 requests to place in 4 hours today, think I
checked all those policies. But I received 23 requests for our genealogy
materials, and our policies clearly state we do not circulate genealogy,
so we are not alone.

		Thou musteth have a heck of a lot more time than I, to
be able to CHECK every policy!  For example, in my 5 hours of work
today, I have to order 83 items, plus process 30 lending.  check the
policies directory for each one?  HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

		These are pretty entertaining, though, I must admit.
Even though some seem a little out there, but hey, we can all dream
can't we?
