• 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.

  directly to a compliant system rather than using
  e-mail
• Eliminates re-keying or the use of parsers
• Transmission target set for each library, default
  to using e-mail
