Top nineteen Ways to Fund Interlibrary Loan

 1.  Blackmail a talk show host.
 2.  Solicit company sponsorship and place their logo on all of your ILL
packaging, loan slips, 	etc.
 3.  Hollow out books and use them to ship illicit materials

 4.  Identify your commuters (faculty, staff, and students) and convince
them all to deliver ILL materials to the library in their town.
 5.  Perfect transporter beam technology and use it to convey ILL fills
to borrowers.
 6.  Beer garden on library roof.
 7. When a patron picks up an ILL item, he must also purchase a
discarded book from the Library Book Sale Room.
 8. Invent a way-back machine and set up an ILL foundation to get rich
from the foundation's investments in Google, Microsoft, Apple, et al.
 9.  Have patrons put a dollar in a jar for every ILL document they
request for a report due tomorrow.
10. Write a best-selling book on the top 100 funniest ILL requests and
goofs.
11. For every ILL book turned in more than 48 hours late, the patron
must donate $2 to the staff donut fund.  After 10 books are turned in
late, the price goes up to $3.  After 20 books, it goes up to $5 per
book.
12. Implement a library tax on stupid questions (i.e., "where are the
new books?" asked by a patron standing in front of a big sign that
says"NEW BOOKS")
13. Be the first library service to win the Nobel Peace Prize?
14.   Charge $1.00 more per ticket for each sporting event at the
university to support ILL.  FOR FSU fans $2.00 more since their team
only reads at a 2nd grade level....they need more help.
15. Write a best-selling book on the top 100 funniest ILL requests and
goofs
16. Don't return the books you borrow, sell them on Amazon
17. Implement a surcharge for every request that was cancelled because
your library owns it!  An added bonus - if your library owns it and the
person has it checked out already.
18. Stim table during finals week
19. Beauties of ILL yearly calendar
