INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING
SERIAL REQUEST
PLEASE TYPE ALL INFORMATION
1. Date of request. Fill in date you are submitting your request to LILRC.
2. Your request #. Libraries submitting many interlibrary loan requests often number the requests consecutively each month. Thus, "10-59" would indicate the fifty-ninth request Library X submitted to LILRC during October. Libraries making fewer requests may number consecutively through the year or may choose to omit a number.
3. Dewey No. Supply 3-digit Dewey number wherever known. This is necessary for requests submitted to NYSILL so they can be referred to appropriate subject referral library. Verification will often give Dewey number, usually supplied with LC cataloging in NUC and NST.
4. Requesting library. Name of institution submitting request. Since delivery is through LILRC driver, full mailing address is not needed.
5. Name of library user for whom request is being made. Some libraries file pending requests by name of user. Also helpful in identifying request if there is a question while it is being processed.
6. Status. Needed for determining eligibility of request for referral to NYSILL. Indicate student, faculty, professional, industry, or other.
