[ILL-L] Free copies?

[Christy Bird]

University of Hartford (HRM) provides free copies with no page limit--I know we request lengthy articles at times, so it seems only fair that we provide them, too (although I have to admit I cringe when I see a 50+ page request cross my path in mid-October and my scanning pile is almost as tall as I am!)

  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).
