[ILL-L] Once upon a time in ILL...

[Carol A. Vaeth]

This might not be exactly what you are looking for, but I love this story.

 

Many moons ago...when ILL requests were received in the mail on 4 part carbon paper forms...I received a book request that was typed, but one word in the title was hand corrected.  The typed title was "Adolescent Sin Offenders: issues in Research & Treatment."

 

The word 'sin' was crossed out and the correct word for the title was handwritten...'sex.'  I thought that was quite Freudian!!

Fellow ILL folks,

 

I am putting together an ILL Tour and Overview session, which will be attended by staff here at Johnson County Library (KNJ).  To spare them from an entire hour and ½ of dry procedures, statistics, etc., I'd like to throw some humor into the mix.  Would anyone care to share some examples of strange, funny, and-I-thought-I'd-seen-it-all types of requests you've seen come through your departments, either on the borrowing or lending side of ILL?  

 

Many thanks!

 

Cyndi Chappell
