Also, I think the way of accessing the cite from Josiah is sometimes confusing. But aside from that, it is great.</td></tr><tr> <td>Faculty</td> <td style="white-space:nowrap;">Fairly easy </td> <td>It would save time if I could request delivery directly to Orwig rather than requesting delivery to the Rock and then asking for it to be sent to me via campus mail when I get the delivery notification.</td></tr><tr> <td>Undergrad</td> <td style="white-space:nowrap;">Fairly easy </td> <td>It is very difficult to find the link to request the book unless you've looked at the picture the library has posted.</td></tr><tr> <td>Staff</td> <td style="white-space:nowrap;">Extremely easy </td> <td>this service is great!</td></tr><tr> <td>Undergrad</td> <td style="white-space:nowrap;">Fairly easy </td> <td>The only difficulty I have had is when trying to order a CD accompaniment to a book I was unable to do so. Sometimes search pages include both CDs and books and it is difficult to choose which one you want to order.</td></tr><tr> <td>Undergrad</td> <td style="white-space:nowrap;">OK</td> <td>This is surprisingly difficult to navigate. But I am also biased against it because when I last used it, I was unable to pick up my book in time which just makes me bitter in general.</td></tr><tr> <td>Visiting scholars/fellows </td><td style="white-space:nowrap;"><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td height="68" width="64">Fairly easy</td> </tr> </table></td><td>In my opinion, the system is nearly perfect.

This can be made clearer.</td></tr><tr> <td>Grad student</td> <td style="white-space:nowrap;">Fairly easy</td><td>It's a tad difficult to find where to click to request something for easyBorrow when you're in WorldCat.</td></tr><tr> <td>Undergrad</td> <td style="white-space:nowrap;">Extremely easy</td><td>However, I was previously unaware of easy borrow through worldCat. It would be great if it were better publicized.

I requested a book we had but that had disappeared. The request was rejected.</td></tr><tr> <td>Grad student </td> <td style="white-space:nowrap;">OK</td><td>Oddly, the link to &amp;quot;Beta&amp;quot; World Cat did not provide me with the correct search results. I had to exit Beta and go into World Cat through the library's main page, search for my book that way, and then make the request.</td></tr><tr> <td>Undergrad</td> <td style="white-space:nowrap;">Extremely easy </td> <td>i use it frequently!

Brown's ILL system has been an integral part of my undergraduate education.</td></tr><tr> <td>Grad student </td> <td style="white-space:nowrap;">OK</td> <td>The link that says Request This needs to be much bigger and more obvious to find.</td></tr><tr> <td>Faculty</td> <td style="white-space:nowrap;">Fairly easy </td> <td>It is very easy to order books, but a bit less so to order journal articles. The methods are especially unclear for ordering from Brown-owned periodicals which are not available in electronic form. It somehow takes a certain amount of fancy footwork.</td></tr><tr> <td>Faculty</td> <td style="white-space:nowrap;">Fairly easy</td><td>Possible to improve navigation through web a bit</td></tr></tbody></table></div></body></html>
