[ILL-L] ILL Policies

[Virginia Updegraff]

I will request a format we do not have. We have many patrons who need
large print and some who want audios. I  lend anything as long as it is
not new to our system. I figure we get more statistics from an item that
is out than from an item setting on our shelves.

Subject: [ILL-L] ILL Policies

 

We are reviewing our ILL policy and are interested in how other
libraries are addressing the issues raised when multiple formats are
available within your library. Do you request the material in the format
the patron wants? For example, if you own a title as an electronic book
would you request the print version through ILL if that's the format the
patron wanted? I think our policy may have been written at a time when
this was not an issue - before my time, anyway - and now with multiple
formats available, we may need to do some revising.

 

Thanks,
