Subject: ILL request

Fort Bend County Libraries

This message has been sent by a patron of your library through the Library of Texas Web site. Please consider this request for an inter-library loan item just as you would any other ILL request. You may want to validate this request by determining whether this is from a valid patron with borrowing priviledges and the requested item is not locally available. After validating this request please fill it using your usual ILL procedure. Public libraries may wish to refer this request to their TexNet center after validation. To make this easier we have configured this message so that using the "reply" feature of your e-mail software will send this message directly to your TexNet center.
