[ILL-L] GOING PAPERLESS

[Breedlove, W Stephen]

Dear List,

I have been attempting to go as paperless as possible.  With article requests, I check our periodical holdings from each request in PENDING status, so if something is online I can go ahead and download it on my flash and then later import it into Ariel or Odyssey and send it.  I can update to filled or unfilled on the fly and not have to print out the request.  I only have to print the article requests that are from bound volumes or from microfilm.

With book requests, I've tried to copy/paste the call number from our catalog into the OCLC request (OCLC provides a link to our catalog within the request) but I haven't been able to make it work.  Has anyone tried doing anything like this?  As far as I can tell, you would need the Edit function available while you have the request displayed?  Or am I missing something very simple?
