ILL
You have probably noticed that, with the Polaris upgrade, the In-transit slip prints the destination library on the first line. It is sufficient to circle the library name in red; you no longer have to write the library abbreviation on top of the slip.

Let us know how the new ILL procedures for out-of–system requests are working. We need your feedback.

 

If you have not already done so, please review your policies on Holds and return it to me by June 19 with changes or no changes indicated.
