Attention Interlibrary Loan Staff and Supervisors

Is interlibrary loan part of your workday?

If interlibrary loan is part of your workday, you should be receiving fairly regular email communication from Erin Halovanic, the Access Pennsylvania administrator, via the Access PA Contacts email list. That email list is different than this newsletter.

The Access PA Contacts email list is one of the means by which any interlibrary loan news is shared, including messages about shipping, software upgrades, and changes in procedures.

If you are not receiving these emails, we need to get you subscribed.

Add Me To The Email List Too!

Pssst... Is the e-mail link above not working for you?

Head on over the support form and let us know that way.
