Hello all,

information with our group.

>Hi David. Do you have a sense of what ASERL libraries are doing relative to 
>borrowing textbooks on ILL?  I'm gathering >a quick snapshot within GWLA. If 
>you don't know and are interested, would you be willing to share the following 
>with >your ASERL colleagues?  The survey is at 
>http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/TextbooksOnILL . I'd love to hear from everyone 
>>by June 2.  I will send a survey summary back to everyone that responds by 
>June 9.  See the survey questions at the >end of this e-mail. If you can 
>respond whether you do or don't attempt to borrow that would be great.
>
>Thanks.
