[Genealib] Re: OCLC tapes

[Jan Dean]

A few weeks ago, the librarian at the Mid-Continent Library mentioned they
have audio tapes they would like to lend. I checked OCLC, found several
tapes at Mid-Continent I was interested in, and requested them thru my
library here. Last week, I received email messages from my ILL dept. that
none of these tapes were available. Can someone please explain why the
tapes are shown in OCLC to be at Mid-Continent, but apparently are not
there? Also, when a book or tape is requested through ILL and it isn't
available at that time, is it put on some sort of list and then shipped
when it's available?

Many thanks,
Jan Dean (who is not a librarian but believes all librarians deserve a
special place in heaven)
