Check out a couple more best practices tips recently sent to the ILDS email list!
Use zip ties to keep the delivery bags securely closed. Please do not pull the zip tie too tight when securing it to the bag or the person opening the bag will have difficulty removing it.
When preparing materials for shipment; remember to check the list of ILDS participants located at http://illinoisdelivers.net/memlist. Also, when you train new staff, please emphasize the need for care in selecting the proper destination. Many direct stops have similar names, including all those that begin with “Illinois.” Appropriate reference to the participant list will also reduce the number of items that are sent to library system locations, rather than being sent directly to an ILDS participant. Taking a little time to verify locations and properly label bags will ensure quicker and more accurate delivery for everyone.
