"We might end up borrowing only from libraries that charge the same
amount we do, which would significantly limit ILL."

And make it unnecessary to charge!  If you charge $20 and they charge
$20, you break even...unless one of you borrows much much more than the
other.

I don't like being charged $20 from libraries we lend to for free
either, but then what's the alternative? Should a library that charges
$20 also not borrow from a library that charges only $5? We might end up
borrowing only from libraries that charge the same amount we do, which
would significantly limit ILL.

	After the latest round of posts on canceled requests, I thought
about my
	own pet peeves and that maybe we need a Ten Commandments of ILL;

	Here are a few to get the ball rolling:

	1.  Thou shalt not ship AV's in anything but a box.

	2.  Thou shalt not update to shipped unless you have the item in
hand (I
	know, I know, some of you do this for a good reason, like
branches ship out
	ILL's directly, but maybe you could show them how to update, its
really
	easy.)

	3.  Thou shalt not reply "No-unspecified."

	4.  Thou shalt not reply "No-Noncirculating" for COPY requests.

	5.  Thou shalt not bill borowers for items lost in natural
disasters.

	OK - anymore out there?  Happy Friday Y'all
