[ILL-L] Borrowing of materials and Sensitizing/Desensitizing

[Brannan, Joyce A.]

We desensitize and resensitize.   Of course, we can only do that for books from libraries that use the same security system as ours - we use the tattle tape.  I don't see any reason not to do so.

	Good afternoon,
	
	My name is Dina Carmy and I am at The College of New Jersey. I am researching for a colleague the following question: Does your circulation department(or department that patrons pick up ILL books)desensitize and or sensitize the books that are lent to patrons that are borrowed from other institutions? Since the materials are not ours and another lending library's, I am thinking that we should not touch the books at all.
	

Our Circ dept desensitizes (they check out all the ILL stuff), because we don't have the staff time to walk the patrons over to the security gate and hand them over.  But we also re-sensitize them when we pick them up at Circ (which we didn't used to do, but started after several libraries mentioned it might be a good idea).

	I would appreciate all responses.
	
	Thank you!
