[ILL-L] Holiday Closings?

[Melissa Jackson]

My library will be closed from December 23-January 4th.  This is a combination of furlough days and our traditional winter break.  We'll probably go non-supplier on December 21st to make sure our queue is empty when we're closed.

Hope this helps!

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
