[ILL-L] Ten Commandments of ILL

[Coogan, Elizabeth]

Thou shall not use Policy Problem for a reason for no if there are no
policies in your Directory entry.  I had 2 today that I checked the
policy and there was the statement 
There are currently no Copy Policies defined for this Unit/There are
currently no Loan Policies defined for this Unit.

	I've often wondered about that.  Yes, it would be nice if we
never got a request contrary to our policies, but the reality is that it
is MUCH easier and less time consuming for me simply to say no than it
is for everyone to look up policies for every request.  :-)  The only
time I look up policies if I am requesting items I know are archival,
special collections or limited printing genealogies.

	Thou shalt read potential lenders' policies before requesting a
loan.

	
	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?
