A professor needed four papers quickly

I was at the reference desk from 3 - 4 PM today when a professor of Biomedical Engineering came by and said she quickly needed four papers from an ophthalmology journal for a grant proposal. She located the papers in Science Direct, but we did not have access to the full-text. I searched Worldcat and found out that the Brooklyn College library has that journal. I contacted Jill who I know through the METRO Science Librarians SIG of the Brooklyn library faculty. She sent us the documents within minutes. It is always helpful to know colleagues at other universities.
