[ILL-L] Book Delivery

[Denise L Montgomery]

We deliver to the departmental office where the faculty member receives 
their mail, since there is always someone in that office, and
books can be placed by the staff in the recipient's mailbox. We also 
supplied a milk crate with our logo and contact information to hold 
returns till we are notified to pick them up.

Thought this would be much less tedious than trying to time it to 
deliver to individual faculty according to their scedule, and no one 
has had a problem with this. And before we started the program, I made 
a point of calling on all department heads and their secretaries to let 
them know what the program was about, and to let the secretaries know 
that as staff, they too were eligible for deliveries, and to distribute 
a flyer titled The Lighter Side of Odum which highlighted the public 
library type materials we have in our collection and how to search for 
them in our catalog, as well as a memo on what we expected from them in 
terms of putting books in mailboxes and calling us when they needed a 
pick up.
