What is your ILL staff doing?

Hi there ILLians. Hope your holidays have been safe and happy ones.

On February 6, 2007 the ILL staff completed the first faze of training for ILLiad.

We are busy ordering your requests and learning the lending side of ILLiad. It has been exciting and frustrating week for us.

This new software is changing the way we process materials to other libraries and is the begining of better service for our all customers.

Coming this summer is the borrowing side of ILLiad. This is the side you will see and I hope you are starting to get excited about this software. ILLiad will role in a new era of allowing YOU the ability to see the status for YOUR WorldCat requests.

Best wishes for the semester,
ILL Staff

ILL Pickup is at the Circulation Desk

Just a reminder...

Your e-mails may say pickup is at the Interlibrary Loan desk. We are having technically difficulties which is taking much longer to fix than we planned.

Pick-up is at the CIRCULATION desk for all items on loan. This is to allow you access to your borrowed items whenever the library is open.

ILL still takes returns, checks on the status for your requests, submits your renewals, and assists you with all your ILL questions.

Phone: 298-2761

ILL Books are Moving!

Beginning Wednesday, January 10, 2007, ILL books can be picked up at the main circulation desk located on the 2nd floor of Malpass Library. Books will be available for pickup any time the library is open. Books may also be returned to the main circulation desk (please do not return books in the drop box).

You may still stop by the ILL office with returns, any other questions, or concerns you have about our service. Beginning Tuesday, January 16, 2007, our hours will be 8:00 am to 4:30 pm, Monday through Friday.

We hope this change will make ILL service more convenient for our patrons.

ILL Changes in the New Year

Beginning with the Spring 2007 semester, Interlibrary Loan materials will be available for pickup at the main Circulation Desk instead of the ILL office. The main circulation desk is located on the 2nd floor of Malpass Library. Your materials will now be available any time the library is open, and you will not have to call to make after hours pickup arrangements. We hope this change will make ILL service more convenient to all our patrons.

When this change occurs, ILL office hours will change to 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, Monday through Friday.

We also invite you to stop by Malpass Library Atrium on Sunday, December 10 beginning at 8:00 PM for cookies. This is the library staff's way of thanking you for your patronage and to wish all students good luck on their finals.

Have a safe and happy winter break and we will see you next semester!
