CRL Fraudster


I just wanted to bring your attention to a potential issue that Francesca has alerted me to. There is a visiting scholar who seems to be calling departments in Widener claiming that she was told that a reference librarian could order an item from the CRL for her. As near as we can tell this claim originated with her. And as you all know, we don't order CRL items for anyone. Harvard affiliates can request CRL material through Interlibrary Loan. Anyone who is not eligible for ILL privileges must pursue another route. If someone has an affiliation with an institution that is not a member of CRL they still may be able to request items through their institution's ILL department, as this page explains.

Please do not request anything from CRL on behalf of this person (or anyone else).  

Thanks,
Reed
