[ILL-L] Question for my ILL Colleagues

[Beth Price]

We are a public library also (Madison Public Library, WI). We began piloting a Purchase-On-Demand program in mid-January of this year. So far we are pleased with how it's working out, but it will be the end of the year before we have circulation statistics, etc. that we can use to evaluate the pilot. 
   
  Thanks,

purchase books for our patrons for ILL. I do inform the acquisitions
librarian when I receive multiple requests for a certain title and ask
her to purchase it.

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.
