We try to reuse paper and send articles electronically wherever possible
without printing on paper first.  Our consortia has also invested in a
maroonish burlap/cloth bag for their delivery system.  These are great!
If they aren't available we try to reuse envelopes.   I recycle
everything that resembles a piece of paper.

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
