I am now no longer an outsider at the Main branch. I have been fully initiated by the ass-of-all-trades patron who is referred to only as Voldemort. Sent to me by none other than the Queen of Information Services, HRH Diane (who shall be properly repaid at a later point in the future), I received he-who-shall-not-be-named today raising his demand for more books on the subject of Arizona History. As fascinating and in demand is this topic is, it seems that we here at the library do not hold enough to tickle his fancy on the subject. So after the Information Services Department searched our Catalog, SearchOhio's Catalog, and most likely all available databases, he descended from on high to our humble little RS department to wax eloquent on the shambles that our institution has become. "I want to do an ILL search on this" he demanded! Well, let me tell you how often I have done an OCLC search in the City. Exactly never. Seeking guidance from none other than the esteemed Ms. H, I was advised "We need a title, author, SOMETHING, to search all of WorldCat for him". Seems reasonable to me.......yeah, you guessed it, not to Voldemort.....who continued to grumble and complain about incompetence the whole way out the door..............
well, I do aim to please....
I am now one with the Main branch..........
