[ILL-L] FW: [ILLIAD-L] Top nineteen ways to Fund ILL

[Campbell, Heather]

For the more daring- there's always Lending/Borrowing Loan labels, pull
slips, and book bands.  Oh and old hard copies of the OCLC Participating
Institutions, Policy Directory, and Union Lists of Serials for the less
daring.

What else besides book trucks, desks, and computer terminals can you 
think of to cover the strategic parts? After all, opened books can only 
cover so much...but you can come up with some pretty clever book 
jackets for a laugh...and don't forget the hats!

Along those lines, one of the most clever calendars I own was a group 
of Dragon Boat rowers from Charleston who were all breast cancer 
survivors..they did some amazing things with oars and life jackets, and 
other nautical props, along with their husbands!
