[ILL-L] Don't request Twilight from EMU

[Palmer, Russell]

It's probably cheaper to buy it than to borrow it.

Especially because it's available new in paperback for $6.04 from Amazon,
for even less used.  It costs lots more in staff time for an ILL staff
member to open, read and process the request than it would to buy the
paperback.  I have had five requests for Twilight in the last few weeks.  I
was successful a few times.  We don't tell our users they can't order
popular fiction, but with budgets being the way they are in New York and
other states, I wonder if we are too liberal.

I don't think anyone anywhere should be requesting any Stephenie Meyer book
for a long time.

Hello all-
After saying NO to several requests for Twilight each day, I've decided to
make an announcement to this list.  EMU's copy of Twilight by Stephenie
Meyer is LOST and we cannot supply it via ILL.  I do not know if we will
replace it or not, but in the mean time, please do not put EMU in your
lender strings for this book.  I realize that this is a very popular book
right now, and the waiting lists at public libraries are long.

Thank you,
Kathy
