[ILL-L] Draft ILL Code and Explnatory Supplementrevisionsavailable for comment

[Linda Wilkinson]

Home delivery issues aside -  I see it as a requirement to send items to the
actual "Ship to" address specified on the request, rather than just to
whatever default address pops in from the ILLiad database.  As a library
system with decentralized shipping/receiving, we routinely face delays and
extra expense from this.

I don't know what the consensus will turn out to be, but the idea of sending
our materials out to ILL borrowers without the handling of library staff on
the other end makes me too nervous to consider it.

5.7 The supplying library should ship material in a timely and efficient
manner to the location specified by the requesting library. Loaned material
should be packaged to prevent loss or damage in shipping. Copies should be
delivered by electronic means whenever possible.

Cool.  This is opening the door to more widespread ILL delivery to the home.
I'd be willing.  A lot of libraries have been doing it for awhile, so I
wonder how long it will be before it is the norm. What is the consensus on
shipping ILL items directly to a person's home?

As many of you know, the ILL Code Revision Subcommittee (a subcommittee of
the STARS Codes, Guidelines and Technical Standards Committee) has been
working on this project for over a year now. We have gathered your input
and, over a period of time, developed drafts of both the code and the
explanatory supplement.

 

I am pleased to announce that the draft revisions to the Interlibrary Loan
Code and Explanatory Supplement have been posted to the STARS web site at
the url below:

N=29658859> &CFID=88210662&CFTOKEN=29658859

 

The members of the ILL Code Revision Subcommittee encourage you to  review
the documents and send comments to me at the email address listed below.
Please do not reply to the lists. We are asking that your comments be
submitted by October 10.

 

Thank you all for your thoughtful contributions as we move toward completion
of this project.

 

Sincerely,
