[ILL-L] Question for my ILL Colleagues

[Tabitha Lee]

We do this on a very informal basis.  I have purchased a few in the past. Because we have a suggestion box for everything from buying new books and periodicals to changing the toilet paper in the bathrooms I don't get very many of these requests.  Faculty members usually send their requests to the library liaison for their department.

Subject: [ILL-L] Question for my ILL Colleagues

ILL Colleagues:
Does your ILL service purchase books for ILL patrons? I know of many ILL 
units already doing this -- and we are very "goal minded" to convince 
our acquisitions and collection development colleagues here that this is 
a worthy service. We are planning to begin an ILL-for-purchase program 
soon, and I am polling my ILL colleagues on this question. If you have 
time only to answer, please provide institution and OCLC symbol 
indicating that you are or are not offering this service; if you have 
advice, I'd be delighted to hear it.
Many thanks! Douglas Hasty, FIU-Miami.
