[ILL-L] Charging late fees for ILL items lent

[Document Delivery]

Of course the ILL code says we don't charge each other overdue fees.
Sometimes the invoice for a lost book is just a reminder to get the book
back: only pay if you think you can't get the book back.

Subject: [ILL-L] Charging late fees for ILL items lent

 

Hello,
I have recently become responsible for ILL at my library and have
noticed an abundance of late fees in our system for books that we have
lent to other libraries. My question is this: Is it normal to charge
borrowing libraries for overdue items? We have recently received an
invoice from another library for an item that was 2 weeks overdue, so I
just want to get an idea of other library's policies concerning this
issue. I would greatly appreciate any help or advice you can give.
Thanks!

~ Jessica
