[ILL-L] Late Friday Request

[Melissa Jackson]

Agreed!  When we had paper forms I would flatly refuse to fill them out for people unless the patron has a physical disability.  Much to the dismay of a small portion of our patrons, laziness did not count.

As far as I am concerned.  If they don't have the time to fill out the
form, they don't really want the item.

So many books, so little time

Well, it saves THEM time.  I think I''ve already told the story of the
patron who requested 126 items simultaneously--but only filled out one
form.  When I explained we needed one form per request, he told me, "YOU
fill them out."  (So I did.)

So here is one for you:

 

I just got a request from a patron who used one request form for five
different books.  They listed all the book titles in the title line of
the form and just separated them using commas.  Brilliant!
