Yes, I didn't see it there either. But it is in the code of come local systems - sorry, Ed.

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


Hello,
I just wanted to thank everyone who took time out of their day to reply to my posting. I do have one question: Edward had replied to my posting Friday morning and stated that it was against ILL code to charge other libraries overdue fines. I looked over ALA's ILL Code at http://www.ala.org/Template.cfm?Section=InterLibrary_Loan&template=/ContentManagement/ContentDisplay.cfm&ContentID=31579 and have not seen mention of this. Could you explain this to me a bit further? I have a meeting to discuss this issue with the Director this afternoon and would like to have as much information as possible. Thanks!

- Jessica

	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!
