I'm still waiting for mine to come in, and forgive me for taking a moment to vent a little. If anyone ever tells you that an interlibrary loan is always quick and simple, don't believe them! I was finally able to get a local library card this year and this was my first interlibrary loan request. First I filled out the online form and sent it. There wasn't a place to specify the edition so I had to write it in the title (and for good measure I added "Robin Buss, translator" in the author line as the second author).
A few days later, I received an email asking if it was okay for them to try to find the book on interlibrary loan since there'd be a small fee. I already knew about the small fee because it's specified on the online form I filled out and I can't think why it took them a few days to finally ask me that, but I replied that of course it was fine.
Then close to a week went by with no word. Finally I called them back and asked them if they'd put in my request. They didn't connect me to whoever did my request, but said that the general policy is that they request it and don't contact the member until they either are rejected or receive the book.
I'm still waiting to hear from them one way or another. Hopefully it will arrive soon.
