[ILL-L] Slightly odd question

[Carmichael, Kathy J.]

 I would answer in use because if the library cannot find another
library with a circulating copy; they will know that they may resubmit
the request at a later date.
I have had to do this on more than one occasion.

Hi everyone!

It's Friday, and that means I start wondering about odds and ends in ILL
while my brain gets ready for the weekend.  :)  I've got a situation
that's popped up a few times that I'm not sure how to answer, and
thought I'd ask what you guys do.

Library A asks for a book.  We have two copies, one in Special
Collections and one that circulates.  The circulating copy is checked
out. How do we answer the request?  Do we say "In Use or On Loan", or do
we say "Non circulating"?

Inquiring minds want to know.  All answers greatly appreciated.
