[ILL-L] Draft ILL Code and ExplnatorySupplementrevisionsavailable for comment

[Brannan, Joyce A.]

I sincerely doubt that we would be willing to send books to a person's
home.  Copies, probably we would.  In so many places students can place
their own ILL requests without the help of a librarian.  I just see too
many problems occurring with direct home delivery.

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:

 

http://www.ala.org/STARSmainTemplate.cfm?Section=STARS&CFID=88210662&CFT
OKEN=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,
