6/2 Interlibrary Loan Forms Change this Week

Interlibrary Loan Forms Change this Week

Due to a system upgrade in the WSU Library’s software, the forms you use to fill out interlibrary loan requests will change on Monday, June 2, 2008.

What is the major difference? The new forms will have you, the patron, fill in your ID barcode number and password before seeing the rest of the form. They will be laid out slightly differently, and they will have a default value for the “Not needed after?” date. For articles, you will need to scroll to the bottom of the form in order to check the copyright box.

We will cut over to the new forms on Monday, June 2, 2008.

For the weekend of May 31, we are continuing to use the old forms, but the Interlibrary Loan system is down, so the requests you submit during this time will be collected by the Access Services staff and loaded into the Interlibrary Loan system when it comes up on Monday.
