[ILL-L] Duplicates with Direct Request Fix

[Linda Clausen]

I just discovered something that others of you probably already know..
We use Direct Request and sometimes it comes back:
Error creating Direct Request: The connection timed out.
Usually I spend time trying to figure out if there is another request in FirstSearch, and occasionally I get fooled.
 
I discovered if you simply send the request back through Direct Request--it will bounce back almost immediately if there is a duplicate! or send the request out if there isn't--no more straining to figure it out! Thought I'd share with those of you who haven't discovered this trick yet.
 
Enjoying one of those Aha moments...
