ILDS Update—Friday, February 1
Revised Delivery Schedle Now Available
A revised delivery schedule has been posted at http://www.illinoisdelivers.net/schedule.html. Assuming weather problems have subsided, please monitor your delivery time next week or so, and report any significant deviations from the revised schedule to the ILDS Program Coordinator at support@carli.illinois.edu.
Labeling Reminders
Spertus Institute of Jewish Studies in Chicago has reported that many of their delivery items are still being sent to Columbia College, which served as their pick-up location prior to starting the new ILDS. Please note that the Spertus Institute is a direct stop in the new ILDS, so items should be sent directly to them. Several other schools have also reported items misdirected to old drop locations or to regional systems, when they should be going directly to the ILDS library. This adds at least a day to the transit of materials. we encourage you to review the list of ILDS direct participants at http://www.illinoisdelivers.net/memlist.html . When in doubt about an academic library’s delivery status, please check the list. Your colleagues will appreciate your effort to get materials to their students as quickly as possible.
Many of you have joined the new ILDS-ig listserv and are using it to request bags from your colleagues. Just as a reminder, to make the process work smoothly. (1) Put your request in the subject line of the note, rather than in the body of the message. (2) Follow this format: Parkland College (PRK) needs 25 purple bags. (3) Please remember to send a note back to the list (example: Parkland College request for delivery bags has been filled – thank you) when your request has been filled, so that you don’t continue to receive offers for bags. Finally, please note that participation in this listserv is completely voluntary, so if you would like to subscribe/unsubscribe to this list please visit http://carli.illinois.edu/mailman/listinfo/ilds-ig.
Please continue to send your comments and suggestions to support@carli.illinois.edu. Your feedback is appreciated!
