[ILL-L] ILL on Course Reserves - limited time period

Hi All,

We have a class in a panic to get their hands on a book.  One student in 
the class has the book -  through ILL -  and is willing to place it on 
Course Reserve for the duration of the ILL loan period (about 2 weeks.)  
I have read that it is "against the ILL code" to use ILL material for 
reserves, but I just reread the national code and can't find anything 
that says this cannot be done or that it's unethical.  Would you allow 
this?  Is there a general statement regarding ILL and reserves that I'm 
overlooking?  (I reviewed the US and MI state codes.)

Thanks in advance for any speedy replies.

Nora
