[ILL-L] Friendly reminder about returns

[Linda Wilkinson]

I "gripe" occasionally on here about this problem whenever it starts to
happen more and more, so here I go again.

 

Borrowers: 

 

- If you're returning an item that came with a return address label, PLEASE
USE IT so the item will go back to the correct library.  Using the lender's
"default" address (from your Illiad database or the OCLC policies directory)
will often result in a misdirected item if the lender is a consortium or
library system.  

 

- Also, if a consortium or library system has loaned you several items, each
with a different return address label enclosed, please return each item to
its home library.  Returning all of the items in one package to one branch
just shifts the return shipping cost back onto the lender, where it doesn't
belong - and in many cases, to a small branch that doesn't have the budget
for it.  

 

Hope everyone had a happy Fourth!  (And a happy Canada Day, for my fellow
Canadians)
