[ILL-L] "Only update when requested" UPDATE!

[Klump, Holly]

Oh I think that was my bad!
 
I am now thinking they write in "will only update to RECEIVED when
requested!"  
 
I think seeing a similar message and then getting multiple copies on an
article made me confused.  
 
Sorry to alarm everyone!  
 
Still, I do notice that some people take so long to update that i still
get multiple copies...I know larger libraries probably have less time to
update, but we update the next morning at the latest, since our work
study students often come in at night.  Is this just a fact of ILL life?

Yes, I think it goes to the next library, and the sending library also
doesn't get the OCLC credit for filling an ILL since we can't update it
to received, Ed.

I've seen several requests come through from different lenders who say
that they "only update to "shipped" when requested" in the notes.  
 
I'm confused on why lenders would not update that they sent an
item...doesn't the request then go on to the next lender, even if you
update to received?  (At least that is what happens when you update in
clio, because it will not overlay in OCLC if I say "recieved" yet it has
not been "sent" yet.)
 
If I forget to ask them to update (and I'll admit that I usually do), I
get another copy from another library.  Then I feel bad for making them
do work for nothing!
 
I guess I'm wondering what the reasoning is for not updating.  Enlighten
me!
