[ILL-L] Holiday Closings?

[Didham, Reginald]

The week between Christmas and New Year's will be staff holidays here, which means no one doing the mail, so no ILL shipping or receiving can physically occur.  I'm around to look at requests, since I live near my office, but with no shipping possible, we're going lower case.

Subject: [ILL-L] Holiday Closings?

All-

I'm trying to get a handle on our staffing needs for the Christmas holidays and have been asked to formally gather some numbers from the interlibrary loan community.
So, I'm looking for the following information:


1)       Are you closing/going lower case the week between Christmas and New Year's?

2)      If not, are you just closing for the actual day (Christmas Day or New Year's)?

3)      If you are open over the holidays, do you have a policy in place to manage the expectations of your patrons about delivery?

If your library is closing that week, feel free to say so as well.  All this info will be kept anonymous, even from my bosses.  I'm happy to post numbers and a summary of whatever I receive.
Thanks.
Judy
