and the good news is that the interface is very simple and easy to
use. The even better news is that, according to the fine print, the
order will include <i>two copies</i> of each form ordered +<i> the instructions</i>
for that form. The estimated delivery time was 7-14 days, which I
don't wholely believe, but in any case I think I'll suggest this online
ordering option to patrons who have no convenient way to file their
taxes electronically or access the online instructions. Only the patron's name and mailing address is needed to complete the order. Once the patron knows which form(s) they need, library staff can easily submit a request on a patron's behalf. Much more satisfying than apologizing for the shortcomings of the government. :)<br clear="all"><br>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature"><div>Laura Simon, Library Assistant<br></div>
