most requests from our collection from early 1990's

But even so, we serve more print-disabled people than ILL requests each day.

"To be #ill is to recognize this interconnectedness--to understand how much we are 'a part of the main.' But to be ill in #America today is to be brought up against the #pathology of a #culture that denies this fact. In the worst moments of my illness, I was alone because of the ways that we have allowed ourselves to believe that the self, rather than the #community, must do all the #healing."

-- Meghan O'Rourke, The Invisible Kingdom: Reimagining #ChronicIllness (2022), pg. 239.

Scholars never sleep! Interlibrary loan requests keep coming in, even late on Xmas eve...

One I just fulfilled a chapter about slave midwives:

"Consciousness and Calling: African American Midwives at Work in the Antebellum South"

#ILL @internetarchive

just catching up on it now...#illini played like trash for 40 minutes but somehow got to overtime to beat #texas #ILL #hornsDown

The Internet Archive fulfills lots of #ILL requests each day (and on holidays/weekends).

Each one takes a person to do it, so we spread it out to staff around the world.

I love that the highest years are the 1990's...

Keeping our cultural memory alive!
