[ILL-L] Thank You Notes

[Ledja Cullen]

Yes, but I had to special order the stamp and it's an extra step I like to do because I truly am thankful, as Sara said.  I like it when I see a stamp from another library so I special ordered a stamp so I could thank people as well.  Also, stamps remind me of being in grade school and it's just something fun to break up the day a little bit.  

Best, 
Ledja

Sarah, here's the thing: A rubber stamp is no more "personal" to me than the WorldCat transaction record.
 
You can put all of the love in the world into it, but to me as the receiver, it's just a rubber stamp.

I think as probably many of us do that thank you notes are a welcome respite from the often impersonal side of ILL.  We stamp "thank you" on the return paperwork we send back with the book-not only because we are truly thankful that you are willing to share your collection with us, but also because that personal touch means something and is important in a virtual world sometimes taken over by the impersonal.  We generally get returned items with hand written notes on the paperwork, or colorful stamps.  It is never overwhelming for us, or unwelcome.  Thank you.

 

Sincerely,
