[ILL-L] To pay or not?

Thu Aug 7 12:51:04 EDT 2008

Well, according to the 'Rethinking Resource Sharing' initiative, this
kind of service is encouraged.  I agree that cost is a factor in making
these decisions.  However, I heard of a library that is buying books
from a 'cheap books' web site, and giving them to the patron.  They of
course have parameters, but in the long run, they figure if they used
ILL, they are paying for the request, paying for the shipping, paying
any lender's charges, and paying for the return shipping.  If they order
the book at say, $10 or under, they pay for the book and one-way
shipping; it's actually cheaper in the long run.  

We are doing a study now to see if books that we are ordering could be
bought and added to the collection.    Baby steps.

I agree with you.  You don't purchase books and give them to the patron,
why should periodical issues be any different?

If faculty want an entire issue, I usually check to see whether it's
available, either from the publisher or from a place like
bookfinder.com, then e-mail the patron with the information.  This is
sufficient for most of them, but one professor didn't want to pay the
$18.70 or whatever; he wanted the library to pay.  I talked to the
Director, who said to go ahead and buy the issue, give it to the patron,
and charge it to ILL.  I did so, but I thought the patron should have
paid for it, since purchasing from the publisher isn't interlibrary
loan.  (Okay, I'm a Scrooge when it comes to the ILL budget.)

We had a request from a faculty member for an issue - and we can only
get it buy purchasing the journal issue from the publisher directly. Is
this something that we should ask the faculty member to purchase
directly, or, since the price is within our limits for faculty, should
we purchase it, even though our library won't keep it? Any thoughts
welcome, thanks,

Thanks Liam.  I wonder if I can order a case when I can't find the title
on the Harvard site...

This is the email I have about Harvard Business School cases:

Subject: RE: [ILL-L] Looking for Case Study out of Harvard Business
SchoolCases

Sara is correct.  All Harvard Business School case studies must be
purchased directly from Harvard Business School Publishing online at
http://www.hbsp.harvard.edu/b01/en/home/index.jhtml?_requestid=44896.
Generally one can download a case study online.  Baker Library at
Harvard Business School is actually prohibited from collecting HBS case
studies and I doubt any other library would collect them so OCLC WRS is
dead end for cases.

I believe those cases have to be purchased directly from Harvard
Business School on an individual basis. 

Information on purchasing this case can be found at

I have a patron who is looking for the following case study.  I was
wondering if anyone could help me find this.  I have searched and
requested through OCLC was no success.  Any help would be much
appreciated.
