[ILL-L] Free copies?

[Megan Bayonet]

Mary Baldwin College (VMB) is a free copier with no page limits.  If it's a
long article (30+ pages) we send by first class mail but items less than
that usually come via Ariel or e-mail.  Database items always come by
e-mail.

Subject: [ILL-L] Free copies?


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).
