[ILL-L] Green interlibrary loan practices?

[FFenske at cob.org]

In addition to everything that has been said, I use GOOS (good on one side)
paper for printing all requests. I print only on the top half. The bottom
half is saved and when a large pile has been accummulated, I send to the
printer to make scratch pads. A pad is put next to the public computers,
and the staff also appreciates them.

Hello, I am working on an article that has a section on "green"
practices in interlibrary loan.  I am looking at things like re-using
packaging, cutting down on amount of paper used, recycling, etc.

Anyone have ideas that they'd be willing to share about how you've cut
down on waste and moved towards more sustainable practices in your ILL
departments?

Thanks in advance!
Chris
