Yesterday I received 5 journal article requests from a single patron to my personal library e-mail account. After totally botching things trying to order in SWIFT, Jenine kindly reminded me that such things can go thru the ILLiad system for DU, CSU, CU Boulder, etc. I found 3 of the 5 articles in ArticleFirst, in the OCLC First Search database that referred me to these universities for copies of the articles. I have submitted the requests & hope that I did it right. As Jenine said, ILLiad is much more user friendly than SWIFT.
My problem is the remaining 2 articles. For the first one, I cannot locate even the journal, AsianWeek. The 2nd challenging article is a dissertation from Indiana University of Pennsylvania. The patron understands that we are all feeling our way thru the tides of ILL and is patient, but I would like to help her get the remaining 2 articles. Thanks for any help.

It looks AsianWeek is online:
www.asianweek.com
and Jefferson county libraries have holdings for the print.

OK - we found the dissertation in OCLC WorldCat dissertations. (Don't put too much info in the search, we found it just by author!)
We'll order it as a clic nostop with the OCLC Accession Number....
