[ILL-L] weekends don't count for the 4 days, do they?

[Glenn Canner]

Right; weekends don't count, but yesterday did.  From the WCRS Glossary:
http://www.oclc.org/us/en/support/documentation/glossary/resourcesharing/default.htm

system days 
In WorldCat Resource Sharing, days that exclude Saturdays, Sundays, OCLC-observed holidays, or other days when interlibrary loan is unavailable; also known as "Non-referral days." OCLC does not count Saturdays, Sundays and the following as working days for aging requests: 
New Year's Day 
Thanksgiving Day 
Day after Thanksgiving 
Christmas Eve 
Christmas Day 
New Year's Eve
