[ILL-L] Free copies?

[Robinson, Arthur]

The discussion of page limits reminds me of an unrelated question I've been meaning to ask.

 

LVIS is wonderful, but some of our more voracious patrons request long articles.  LVIS provides up to 30 pages free, but LVIS libraries can charge for longer copies-and I have no trouble with that.  But it means that I have to check the policies directory to see what libraries don't have a limit to how many pages they'll copy for free, and of course many libraries don't include that information in their policies directory.

 

Does anyone have a list of those wonderful libraries that never charge for copies, or that provide free copies up to 50 pages (or whatever)?   If so, I'd appreciate a copy.  

 

GLG never charges for copies, and we'll normally copy up to 100 pages.  ("Normally" means unless it's an exceptionally busy time, or our photocopier is dead-though in those cases we'd conditional.)  

 

Many thanks to the libraries that have been so generous with our outrageous demands (such as the time a patron demanded a bunch of articles from law journals, mostly 80 pages or more, on ILL-luckily most of them turned out to be on Lexis-Nexis).
