Re: off-campus collections

[Barb Anderson <bja9@xxxxxxxxxx>]

on a semi-related note: for others that have storage facilities that 
they've added to their branch tables:

have you been able to figure out a way to convince the Innopac to allow you 
to place a request through the system (since they are still considered 
local to the system) and have them generate appropriate hold notices so it 
doesn't all need to be handled manually and doesn't require a totally 
separate form to request the item?
