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

[Hunt, Kelley]

We get a lot of requests from correctional facilities. Two memorable requests were for a book on lip reading, and a book about how to tell if someone is lying to you.

We had several requests a few years ago from a hopeful individual from a correctional institution as well:  he was looking for introductory guides to understanding basic concrete and steel engineering/weaknesses...

Hi,

We once had a request from a correctional institution for Aleister Crowley's "Magick in Theory and Practice". Since I never heard anything about a spectacular escape from said institution, I guess the reader didn't find it that useful...

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
