ILDS Tips

With the beginning of a new academic year, it might be useful to review a few of the ILDS best practices that have evolved over time. Please share your own good ideas and procedures with your colleagues through the email list .

Tip #1

For those of you who are training new staff, the ILDS web site has information about ILDS participants, as well as step by step ILDS instructions. The ILDS web site is also the place to go to subscribe to the ILDS, and the ILDS-ig email lists The ILDS email list is used by CARLI to send out general announcements regarding ILDS, while the ILDS-ig email list is used by ILDS participants to request delivery bags, and share information regarding delivery with their colleagues.

Tip #2

Damaged delivery bags should be returned to the Illinois State Library. They will determine whether or not the bags can be repaired or if they will have to be discarded. If you have an excess supply of bags, please return them to the State Library for redistribution.
 
As always, please if you have any questions.
