[ILL-L] Wondering - no new requests

[Barton, Gail]

At ABF/Samford University, we are experiencing a lower number of lending requests as well. The number has been down for 2-3 weeks. At first I believed it to be linked to the economic situation but after bringing it up in phone conversations with other ILL partners, they report the same high number of lending requests as expected for mid-term.
 
Does anyone have further insight concerning this marked 'slow down' at some locations? I suppose I am comforted to know it is not just us seeing the decline of lending requests. Thanks for the post, OKI.

I came in this morning to find no new lending requests – highly unusual for me, since I usually have at least 20.  Is anyone else experiencing this?
