Subject: Re: Splitting the list to separate out
ILL requests? **Delete if time too valuable to
read...**
To: [log in to unmask]
>Perhaps if someone with too much time on their
hands could compare the number of people who have
submitted or responded to a request (i.e. the
colleagues who have sought and received generous
assistance from other colleagues) against the
number of those who are too busy to hit the delete
button occasionally or do a proper set of
filtering rules (but not to email the list about
it), we'd have some evidence one way or another...
(we should ignore the silent majority in both
cases as they are clearly too sensible to get
involved either way) and why aren't they
complaining about the jobs and journal duplicates?
What is it about ILLs that generate such passion?
And do you also demand that Waterstones only
stocks items in which they are personally
interested? EBM = Evidence Based Moaning perhaps?
