[ILL-L] Entering a received date

[MARINGER Cassie]

If you click on "Edit" in Resource Sharing, you can manually type in
whatever date you want.
 
That doesn't affect turnaround time stats, though.  I asked OCLC about
that a while ago.  According to them, the turnaround time reflects the
date on which an update takes place, regardless of the actual past date
you type in.  (If you get stats from ILLiad, it might help -- I'm not
familiar with it.)

	We used to be able to enter a "received" date if it was other
than the current date.  
	EX: Article actually received December 12, 2007.  For whatever
reason the record is not updated in OCLC.  I want to update it today.
So now the received date is going to be March 20, 2008.  What a way to
skew the stats!!!  I don't see anyway in either ILLiad or Resource
Sharing that I can now enter a specific date.  Am I just missing it?
	Thanks,
	Harlene
