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

[Markley, Patricia]

I think we might be open to sending materials directly to other
libraries' patrons under 2 conditions:

1) The requesting library still understands this operation as
inter-LIBRARY loan - that is, the requesting library will take
responsibility for tracking and replacing, if necessary, any materials
that are lost or damaged anywhere along the line; and

2) The process does not produce more work or aggravation for our staff.
Specifically, I wouldn't want to have to deal directly with other
libraries' patrons.  It's bad enough now when a library system refuses
to help get back a book it requested on behalf of a member library.

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,
