DOCLINE

There seems to be some confusion about the new Alternate Delivery Methods on DOCLINE, from both the borrowing and lending sides.  A few important things to keep in mind:
    a. Be sure your institutional record is updated both as a borrower and lender for the delivery methods you accept and those that you offer.
    b. If you provide alternate delivery methods as a borrower, be prepared to receive items in ways other than your preferred method.  Feel free not to include all options (for example, we've completely eliminated MAIL as a borrowing option).  Some libraries add a comment about wanting articles with photographs mailed. You can always change your preference on an individual request if you occasionally must have an item delivered in a certain way.  If you consistently find that you are receiving items via your second or third choice, think about changing your  routing table.
    c. As a lender, be sure to read the borrower's request and respect the preferred delivery method.  If you can fill by the preferred method but for some reason choose not to, refer the request on.  If you cannot fill by a certain method on a regular basis, do not include that method in your institutional record.  We have a few libraries who seem to be sending exclusively by mail/courier even when that is not a borrower option.
    d. Also as a lender, be mindful of the quality of a PDF or fax.  If there are graphics or photographs that do not reproduce well, it's a good idea to add a note indicating willingness to mail an item.  (if you're willing, of course)
    e. If, as a lender, you are filling a request by an alternate delivery method, change the method of delivery when you update the request in "Lend."  For example, if PDF is the borrower's first choice and you fill by mail without changing the method to MAIL, the borrower may wonder why the PDF has not been received.
    f. All requests go through each routing table cell, first by the preferred method, then by the alternate methods, before going on to the next cell.
