Just an informal survey here - feel free to reply off-list

 

-Do members of your library staff regularly request ILL items for their
own personal use?  Regularly, yes.

 

-Do ILL staff use it more than staff from other departments? Yes they
do.

 

-If your library charges patrons a fee to borrow, do staff also pay the
fee    We don't charge, but if we did they would be expected to pay.

 

I'm curious because I do succumb to temptation now and then and "surf"
OCLC for items to borrow; I was wondering if others out there do the
same.  I would think that staff who use ILL would be more likely to
recommend it to patrons.  Also, we do charge our patrons a fee ($1.50 to
cover postage), and to be honest, sometimes I don't pay it...
