Like many marine libraries, we are the branch. Unlike most in this
position, we continue to share the same OCLC symbol with our main library.
This can create a problem for IAMSLIC libraries trying to borrow from us
(ORE). Our main library has agreed to honor our commitment to IAMSLIC.
They are, however, struggling with which libraries actually belong. It
would be very helpful to them if IAMSLIC member libraries would put their
IAMSLIC affiliation in the :AFFIL'N: field in their NAD and in their ILL
constant data.
Please look at ILL requests your library generates through OCLC and see if
your IAMSLIC affiliation shows up there. If it doesn't, please consider
putting it in. You'll be helping our main library do the right thing.
Thank you!
