Kudzu-Ops Mailing List: U of Alabama ILL request for assistance

[Jackson, Mildred (mljackson]

All, 
As you know, the city of Tuscaloosa sustained severe damage in the tornadoes 
last week.  The University Libraries and the campus are fine.  It is amazing 
that we had no damage on campus. 

We have just re-opened this morning but all of our staff have not yet returned 
to work.  Many students lost homes and, therefore, lost library books.  We are 
beginning to sort through all of this with them.  Cornelia Davis is working on 
a report so we can see how many ILL books we have from other libraries.  We may 
not recover some of them and will work with you to resolve any issues 
associated with lost books.  Some will need extensions for due dates.  We would 
appreciate your assistance in extending due dates so students and faculty can 
get books back to us.  Since final exams were canceled many students have left 
town and we anticipate that we will receive books in the mail. 

Thank you for your assistance.
