Many of you remember the three previous
TexShare Interlibrary Loan Workshops, when newspaper headlines
read, "Interlibrary Loan Librarians Descend on Dallas, Neiman's
Shelves Left Bare," and "ILL Librarians Rock West End, Many
Bars, Restaurants Forced to Close for Repairs."
Well, the dust has settled, improprieties
have been forgotten, and most arrest warrants have lapsed,
so it is time for TexShare ILL Workshop IV.
