a reply to an email I sent to a patron saying we couldn't get the book we requested via interlibrary loan because it's not in OCLC or Ingram (a company that sells books to libraries)

"non of the library in awan owns the book?"

I'm assuming he means SWAN one of the local consortiums. On the request he lists a phone number and email address that indicate he's attending a foo-foo math and science school about 40 minutes away. Very interesting.
