And if you leave the default to print one per page, you can actually
read them! :-)

Same thing with ours.  First goes to Review in Process, then I have to
click the bar to download.  I really never had a problem with the "old"
way and I wish I could opt to print it out that way.

 

*grumble*

Jeanine, I have found the same problem with the format of the requests.
So I took a screen shot and sent it to my regional provider, who said
they'd contact OCLC. I'm being sarcastic when I say I wonder whether
OCLC even looked at their new format, but I really don't know how it
slipped by them.

 

As for the download problem, I.E. blocks the download until I click the
bar and choose "download" from the menu. Then it does bring up Adobe and
download the PDF.

This is the first day of the new printing format in World Resource
Sharing.  I admit I'm not real big on change, but already I don't like
this new format.  I use Internet Explorer.  I print out my pendings two
to a page.  This new print is even smaller than before and I obviously
don't know enough about Adobe and PDFs to figure out how to make the
print bigger.  Also, the different fields are crammed together more than
before so it makes it harder to read.  I happen to have printouts of the
same request in both the old and the new format.  The new format takes
up about half as much space.  Where's my magnifying glass??  :) 

 

Also, when I choose to print from the Pending category, and I choose
Download from the little pop-up message, it does not download the PDF.
It just changes the status to In Process, then I have to choose to print
my In Process category and then I get the PDF and can print.  Am I doing
something wrong?  It's not like I'm new to ILL, I've been doing this for
25 years.  It's just when OCLC makes these changes ...   !!!! 

 

Can't wait to hear about others experiences.  And I gladly accept advice
from those more knowledgeable.  I'm not ready to send comments to OCLC
until I hear what others think or I learn a better way to print. 

 

Thanks!!!
