Illiad ILL
You should be receiving an IMLS Evaluation Survey. All IMLS projects and services are reviewed every 5 years. This year IMLS provided funding to evaluate 10 programs provided with IMLS funding through the Oklahoma Department of Libraries. Two programs, Interlibrary Loan and Statewide Databases are being reviewed in-depth.
Watch for this important survey in your email.
If your patron is requesting a 2012 title that has only a few locations listed in 
WorldCat, please ask them if they will take earlier editions. They will probably not get the 2012 title and if it is a textbook we will not purchase for our collection.
Please let them know in advance and include the edition information in your request.
Thanks from ILL
We are back at it and have had some server growing pains.
Please call us if you are unable to log in.
Ever look long and hard for a record that you finally find, only to have to do it all over again?
Here is a tip.
When you find that important record remember the Accession or OCLC number.
Then when you go to the search screen, change the drop down on the right to “Accession Number”
and type the number in the first box.
Viola! Right to that record saving valuable search time……..
Reminder to email ljordan at oltn.odl.state.ok.us if you need one of the books on the Oklahoma Book Titles List. We have added some nice Oklahoma poetry titles, thanks to a generous donation by Dr. Alvin Turner.
Another reminder that referrals have stopped. It would be best to re-submit your request after January 4th, 2012 so your patrons won’t think their Interlibrary Loan is coming. If we own the material we will ship until December 12th.
Our local ILS catalog upgrade is complete. We think we have all the parts working again. Melissa will be fixing some graphics on the pages that have gone missing. We have stopped referring to other libraries, your requests will just stay in Illiad until after January 4th. If we (ODL Owns) own an item we will ship it to you until December 12th.
If you have any problems with Place a Hold from WorldCat remember to re-read our blog entry, http://illiad.oklibshare.org/?p=490
You may need to change your security settings for the new catalog server. If you still have problems call circulation or reference at ODL.
We know we’ve been having issues with the Borrow this item! on WorldCat. We appreciate your patience as OCLC and our IT office try to determine the problem. Right now it seems to be working but DO let us know if it stops, call the ILL office or the Circulation desk at ODL. 522-3473 or 522-3491
We have just had a major upgrade to our ILS system, Voyager, so if you see any ODL Catalog links that don’t take you to the catalog please let us know. Melissa Askew is working her way through them, but we suspect there are a lot out there to change. Be sure and refresh your computers to get our latest version, which may mean you need to change your bookmarks.
Thanks and hopefully our holidays will go smoother.
*We will stop referring your requests to other libraries beginning November 16th. If you request after this date it will sit in the system until after the Holidays. Please tell your patrons. We will send books from our library through December 12th to be returned after the Holidays.
