CARLI will provide training for the new ILDS system by webcasts on June 24 and June 27. Each webcast will run approximately 90 minutes and each will cover the same material. Advance registration is required for the webcasts. The registration form is available at http://www.illinoisdelivers.net/train/080624train/.
CARLI staff are now collecting dates ILDS libraries will be closed for the third quarter, July 1 through September 30,2008. These are the dates when there will be no library staff present to send or receive delivery items, rather than the days the library may be closed for students and the public.
To designate your closure dates, please complete the online survey by June 13, 2008.

Some libraries are still reporting seeing old ILDS data on interlibrary loan requests generated by Illinois libraries in OCLC. If you have not already done so, please be sure (or ask a colleague who works with OCLC interlibrary loan) to update your old ILDS address in OCLC constant data to your current ILDS 3 letter code. Your fellow libraries will thank you!
We know this is a busy time for you all as the students return materials and dash out of town. We've also know this is getting into prime vacation season and we've had a few emails from staff who were filling in on the ILDS labeling front for colleagues who were away. Be sure your replacement knows the label system password for manifest creation before you leave town, and be sure they know that they can always email us at support@carli.illinois.edu if they run into any trouble or confusion.
