maybe I should change our policy to "reciprocal" if that is the definition that others are using too. I would hate for us to miss out on loans just because I am using a very literal interpretation.

>From the OCLC Policy Directory:
Reciprocal Lender     
  Indicates an agreement between two libraries, or among members of a
larger group of libraries, to not charge each other to fill interlibrary
loan requests, or to charge each other the same amount per transaction

We have it marked Yes but that definition covers a lot of ground.  We're
part of LVIS and a few other groups, but we don't charge borrowers who
would charge us.  I lean more to the side of the definition that says
we're a member of various groups that lend to each other for free.
Especially since "Kinda" isn't one of the choices offered.  :>)

We lend for free, even to those who charge, so technically we are not
"reciprocal" since we don't charge those who charge us.  Am I
misinterpreting "reciprocal" ?

Just  want to put in my 2 cents worth? I lend to THOSE who have a YES 
next to their RECIPROCAL in their policy directory.
