[ILL-L] How do you handle ILL from materials in remote storage?

[Charles, Nicole]

Hi Katherine,

Our Book and Record Depository (BARD) is our off-site storage. They have
the ability to scan/copy ILL items on site. The BARD falls under our
Access Services umbrella with ILL. We have a person at the BARD that is
responsible for retrieval, copying and scanning of ILL materials and is
technically classified under ILL. However, if ILL is slow, he does help
out the other staff with BARD tasks.

I hope that helps,

Hello,

The Georgia Tech Library plans to eventually move all of our pre-1980 
periodicals to a remote storage facility.  I'd be very interested in 
hearing (off-list) from those libraries that currently deal with this 
situation, especially such aspects as 1) do you transport the volumes 
back to your library for scanning/copying, or do you have the capability

to do this in the remote facility? 2) is your Circulation/Access 
Services department in charge of remote storage 
retrieval/copying/scanning, or is ILL?  Any info. would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Katharine
