Re: Difficulties with Interlibrary Loan Requests

Dear Cairn Talk Forum:

Recently, the Interlibrary Loan Librarian at the Schenectady Public Library called to inform me that the cost of requesting a search for the magazines published in the UK and listed in John Marvin's bibliography is approximately $17 per request. This money does not insure that the request will be filled. Further, that price does not include copying costs. Nor does in encompass shipping and handling fees. There must be an easier way!

Would anyone with a library/research background (or possibly a person in the UK) reading this note be willing to help me obtain copies of historic magazine articles about Cairns that were published in the UK?

Please feel free to contact me privately.

Thanks.

Sincerely,

Sean
