[ILL-L] A Friday "silly" question

[Susan M. Lee]

We had construction last year and the door's were propped open from 6am
to 6pm.  I saw something move past my feet, it was a mouse running right
in front of me.

One day I was sitting at the Reference desk and I felt something brush
against my leg. I assumed it was an electrical cord but when I looked
down, I saw a lizard crawling up my leg. Normally I am not afraid of
lizards at all and I often rescue them from my cats but when I saw that
lizard crawling up my leg I let out a panicky screeeeeam.

We can't beat that.  We've had a lizard and a bird in the library, and
in the library where I worked while in library school a bat got loose (I
finally caught it, but it took a while).

 

I'm eagerly awaiting stories of kangaroos and hippogriffs loose in the
library.

 

Regarding the "fun" question:  I think I've told this before, but we
once had a professor who told all the students in an undergradaute class
to locate a dissertation in Dissertation Abstracts, then order it on
interlibrary loan.  He told them they didn't have to read the
dissertations, they could just order them and then send them right back,
but he wanted them to learn how to get them in case they ever needed to.
(At least there were no copyright implciations.)

Andrea's "fun" question reminded me of a silly question: What animals
have come into your ILL department?

In talking with colleagues a few weeking ago, I remembered:

a snake - around someone's wrist
a bird - flew in (happened at two libraries)
dogs - came in through the Library's electric doors
cats - loved the office's southwest corner windows for napping, and the
office was on the second floor
a ferret - in someone's carry bag


I hope everyone has a fine Thanksgiving week and to non-US folks, a
great weekend.
