[ILL-L] handling ILLs when moving

[Klump, Holly]

We had several moves in the past year since we were adding onto our building.

As for lending, yet, we just shut ourselves off.  Borrowing, we can't, but luckily both times were not high volume times for our borrowers.

I'd say the biggest thing is to make sure to change your delivery preferences about a week beforehand, since nothing will be able to send via ariel or fax.  Change that to mail or email.

Also, expect some mishaps.  There WILL be following up to do, missing articles, etc.  Just be mentally prepared for that b/c its impossible, in my opinion, for it to go perfectly!

Good luck and enjoy your new space!!

Hi--
Our library will be moving to a new building later next year, and I am just wondering what to expect when the move is near.  How do you all handle ILL requests?  Do you temporarily shut down? If anyone could send me info on their moving experiences, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks--and have a Happy New Year!
