[ILL-L] RE: Once Upon a time in ILL Land...looking up bad words.

[Bierma, Lynn]

Back in my training days I was teaching a class on searching WorldCat to school librarians.  They were practicing different searching techniques, we well as sending requests and responding to requests on their own (thankfully using three training symbols I had access to), and there was a lot of giggling going on. I had my suspicions...when we reconvened after a break and went through the exercises together, I quickly saw that they had been looking up every bad word they could think of and sending the titles to each other.

I got a lot of mileage with it after they realized we'd be going through the requests together.  The expressions on their faces were pricless!  We all had a good laugh about it.
