[ILL-L] Requesting renewals

[Bierma, Lynn]

We only do renewals if asked, and we try very hard :)!!!  to make sure we check that there is already a "no renewal" statement from the lending library.  If there is, we indicate NO RENEWAL ALLOWED on the bookstrap we put on the book before sending it on to our patron.

Just out of curiosity, do most of you automatically request ILL renewals for your patrons?  I usually wait until they ask for renewals.  I don't feel its my responsibility to keep track of everyone's due dates.  However, if they tell me in advance that they will need it longer, I will mark this on my calendar and renew for them.

I know both these topics have been discussed before, but I can't remember the details.



(1)      I have just discovered that a professor put an ILL article I had obtained for him on reserve.  The semester's just about over, but for the future, how should I handle this?  I know we shouldn't put ILL books on reserve, but is there a problem, copyright or otherwise, with putting articles on reserve?  Should I warn faculty that ILL articles shouldn't be put on reserve?

(2)     A colleague in Circulation is taking over from me (yay!) the task of keeping track of due dates for ILL, requesting renewals, harassing deadbeats, etc.  I have a vague memory that some libraries want renewal requested two or three days before the book is due back at their library, so I had got into the habit of requesting renewal daily for all books three days  before the due date (I come in seven days a week).  My colleague usually comes in five days a week, so I suggested she might want to request renewal on Friday for books that were due back at the other library over the weekend or on Monday.  But apparently this isn't happening.  Am I misremembering and/or paranoid?  If, for example, the lending library's due date is April 21, is it safe for her to wait until the 21st to request renewal, or should she do so before then, and if so, how many days before?



Thank you!



Arthur Robinson (GLG)
