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

[Ward, Suzanne M.]

A patron asked for a paper from the 18th DAAM International Symposium.  I did everything I could think of to verify the article or to find some trace of any DAAM symposium.  Someone else's typo ona web page revealed that the acronym is actually DAAAM.  I still remember this as that d**(*)m request!

 

 

DAAAM = Danube Area Association for Automation & Manufacturing (Vienna)

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
