[ILL-L] RE: conditionals, deflections, etc (was policy problem)

[Campbell, Heather]

I know that -in our case- the "slip throughs" happen because: 1) someone
mis-cataloged it or 2) because the request came through as a photocopy
request instead of as a book request.  Mixed media items evade the wily
deflection net on occasion, but deflection has been a very helpful tool
for us.

I have longed for more "reasons for no" since inception - one for "don't
lend AV" and one for "too new", these are the bulk of our requests it
seems.  We conditional people now for the new  and
non-circ-but-will-copy
things, but it sure would be easier to do them with the rest of the
no's.
Delection by pub date would be a dream!

BTW, why do youyou think things slip through deflection once in a while?
