[ILL-L] request from different symbol

[Patti Cummins]

Paul,
   KKV may be one of these libraries.  We are the Southwest Kansas Library System, and I do all
the OCLC requesting for our member libraries.  I have at the beginning of Borrowing Notes:
**Please use this record's Ship To Address**   I never give that library's OCLC code, but
if you would search for it, you would find that it's lower case.  However,  KKV is an umbrella
code for all these libraries holdings as well.  If someone in our system owns an item, the code
KKV is automatically added by OCLC and on KKV requests I search our online consortial catalog, 
see who owns it and then I email them the request.  But it might be good to have us flagged to 
convert (or use the record's shipping address).  
I hope this helps explain the KKV Consortium.
