ILL Stuff

There is a new box about Interlibrary Loan on the Ref Desk Manual on the Circulation tab. The information is new to most all of us (not just interns) and changes how we recommend and facilitate ILL. We can't ever ILL ebooks, right? Wrong. We don't borrow DVDs from other institutions, right? Wrong. We never ever request textbooks, right?

...right?? Please get familiar with this information so we can continue to provide the greatest access to our patrons!

Library e-books for some courses with no concurrent user limits!

Hi folks,

Michelle Courtney just announced a list of textbooks that the library owns as ebooks with no concurrent user limits:  http://uncg.libguides.com/coursetexts

It will be a nice place to check if someone asks you for a textbook!

If that guide doesn't have the textbook someone needs, please remember to

• search the library catalog for the book title, remember to click "view all editions"
• search the course number in the print reserves part of the library catalog

I've added this info to the Reserves tab of the libguide for our catalog and discovery system: http://uncg.libguides.com/WCL

I'll update the rest of this libguide this weekend.

I'm the ROI representative to the ILSC catalog committee, so please let me know if you have questions about the catalog or suggestions for this libguide.

Some questions I can answer, others I might refer to Terry.  If you have a catalog features request or a problem, I might suggest that you post it to the OCLC Community Center. (Terry can help librarians get a log in to that site)
