[ILL-L] Thank You Notes

[Ledja Cullen]

Again, I agree with Linda.  Also, it's pretty funny we are debating
whether or not to say thank you.  My rubber stamp is usually the only
communication, other than Worldcat, that I have with the other library. 


Best, 
Ledja

Even if it is just a ‘rubber stamp’ someone took the time and effort to
mark the paperwork – and I for one enjoy the spirit of appreciation it
embodies.

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.
