My feeling is that for any request we send anywhere other than the
DSC, it's only right to be sure first that they have it; and also to
bear in mind the different pressures there always are on different
ILL services. I myself keep an eye on the other libraries who report
being under pressure, and try to borrow from them only as a last
resort.
